Deep dives

Stock Correction and Rising Yields

The recent 10% correction in stocks was driven by the economy being too strong, leading to an increase in U.S. government bond yields. Concerns about the Fed taking more actions to battle inflation further fueled the correction. The rise in yields negatively affects stocks by reducing equity risk premiums and challenging relative valuations. Additionally, the tightening of financial conditions due to higher yields can weigh on future growth. Other factors contributing to the correction include higher treasury issuance and geopolitical shocks like the terrorist attack in Israel and war in Gaza.
