How Bond Yields Impact Stocks and Market Breadth

Bond yields have historically served as a hedge against stocks, but recent market trends show otherwise. Last year, the bond market crashed alongside the stock market, breaking the traditional correlation.

Stocks and bonds compete for investment dollars, and as risk-free rates go up, stocks become relatively less attractive.
