Treasury yields remained the focus, as the 10-year bond yield once again reached highs last seen in 2002, topping 5.3%. The 30-year yield also surpassed 5.7% at one point, also to hit its highest level in 24 years. Bonds have been volatile over the past six weeks, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management chief investment officer Lisa Shalett said in a note to clients. He cited a potentially new Federal Reserve policy framework, economic growth and high oil prices as the Middle East conflict drags on as factors. “However, while intraday implied volatility has increased, the six-week stretch has not reached the extremes that catalyzed the 2022 equity bear market,” Shalett wrote.
