Impact of Rising 10-Year Yields

The recent surge in 10-year yields nearing 5% has significantly altered the risk-return profile for investors. This shift enables them not only to receive higher coupons on their investments but also potentially gain from future rate declines. As yields rise, it presents an attractive opportunity for bond investors who traditionally deal with lower returns. Investors are encouraged to consider this dynamic when adjusting their portfolios.
