Yields on longer-dated US Treasurys are soaring to the loftiest levels of 2026, extending their run north to multi-decade highs. Part of the pain stems from IMF Director Kristalina Georgieva\u2019s comments signaling sovereign excesses and identifying advanced economies as the \u201cworst offenders\u201d since they\u2019ve accumulated nosebleed liabilities that have been significantly exceeding revenues for ages. Meanwhile, a modest retreat in oil prices is helping limit the carnage, but the alleviation is primarily at the curve\u2019s short end because cheaper fuel is quelling inflationary pressures and slightly reducing expectations for monetary policy tightening. Indeed, lower crude charges can\u2019t do much to help unbalanced fiscal situations, which is the primary headwind that credit assets currently face, while heavy borrowing demands tied to the AI buildout are inflicting more damage, albeit to a lesser extent, as buoyant growth momentum has firms racing for cash financing to augment capital expenditures. Stocks are getting pounded against the backdrop of climbing interest rates and an appreciating greenback, especially the cyclical ones\u2014the Russell 2000 and Dow Jones Industrial Average have plunged more than 1%. Equities are off their lows though, as dip buyers have stormed in; however, only the defensive health care and consumer staples sectors are advancing with the other nine principal categories and all subsectors except for biotech sinking. The risk-off sentiment is hitting commodities and cryptocurrencies as well. Elsewhere, investors have pushed up premiums on volatility protection instruments due to the potential of bumpier turbulence. Additionally, prediction markets are catching bids, particularly as it relates to next month\u2019s midterm elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-market-seems-to-care-more-about-yields-today\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Market Seems To Care More About Yields Today<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IMF\u2019s call to action on swollen government budget deficits appears to be having a pronounced effect on a relative basis, as traders seem to care more about yields today than in recent sessions. It was just yesterday that stocks soared to fresh records while claiming four consecutive days of gains, but today\u2019s selling pressure is heavily influenced by a global avoidance of fixed income, with equity investors contemplating if share prices can continue flourishing with 10- and 30-year Treasurys potentially heading to new 2026 peaks of 5.50% and 6%. A lot will depend on whether corporate earnings can offset credit headwinds for much longer, with lofty rates raising the bar for quarterly results via a sinking risk premium. Profitability expansions north of 15% are poised to have Wall Street overcome the ongoing bond market meltdown; however, if aggregate bottom-line growth decelerates to the single digits, then elevated borrowing costs could increasingly incentivize a rotation out of stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-international-roundup\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>International Roundup<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-australia-industry-weakens-despite-manufacturing-improvement\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Australia Industry Weakens Despite Manufacturing Improvement<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Australian Industry Index, a broad gauge of economic activity, fell 21.1 points in September to -25.5 despite manufacturing improving, according to the Australian Industry Group. Indeed, the organization\u2019s Australian PMI measurement, which tracks manufacturing, climbed 6.2 points to -8.7, indicating that the sector\u2019s contraction is easing. The country\u2019s ongoing weakness in construction, however, accelerated with the AIG PCI falling sharply by 29.8 points to -34.5. The overall industry result was pulled down by uncertainty regarding energy costs, taxation and Australia\u2019s federal budget. With those points in mind, businesses reported increased challenges with forecasting demand and managing production. Weakening demand was an additional headwind with declines in inquiries from prospective clients, fewer orders and customers delaying purchases. In the retail and consumer-facing sectors, activity was hurt by cost-of-living pressures. Data centers, the defense industry, renewable energy and some machinery and equipment customers provided isolated pockets of growth. Input cost inflation also weighed on results with energy, fuel, freight, raw materials, imported components, insurance and property-related expenses becoming more expensive. Businesses also reported shortages of skilled workers, which constrained hiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-while-building-approvals-fell-in-august\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>While Building Approvals Fell in August<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The number of August dwelling units approved for construction in Australia fell 6.1% from the preceding month but was still up 10.3% from the year-ago period, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The value of non-residential projects approved, furthermore, plunged by 44.8%. The private sector bucked the month-over-month (m\/m) residential weakness with a 3.7% climb that placed the y\/y metric up 18.4%. Dwelling approvals for private sector residences excluding houses, a category consisting of apartments and other attached habitats, nevertheless, sank 21.1% and 2.1% m\/m and y\/y.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-japan-s-leading-index-climbs-but-current-conditions-weaken\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Japan\u2019s Leading Index Climbs but Current Conditions Weaken<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Japan\u2019s Flash Coincident Index retreated by 1.9 points last month to 118.7, but the gauge of potential future conditions climbed 0.4 points to 118, according to the Cabinet Office. The Leading Indicator\u2019s ascent placed it just 0.1 point shy of the economist consensus estimate. The Coincident Index was hurt by typhoon damage and the Kumamoto Earthquake crimping production of automobiles and aluminum building materials. It was the metric\u2019s first decline in six months. &nbsp;The Leading Indicator, conversely, hit its highest level since January 2014 with increased optimism among small businesses and gains in consumer confidence lifting the metric for the second consecutive month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The global bond market
