Markets face risk if 30-year Treasury yields reach 6%

A move toward a 6% 30-year yield could pressure both stock gains and bond-fund performance, according to MarketWatch.

MarketWatch warns that US markets are not positioned for a scenario where the 30-year Treasury yield rises to around 6%.

The outlet argues that a sharp long-bond repricing would likely erode stock gains while also deepening losses for bond funds.

In that view, the combination of falling equity sentiment and weaker bond-fund performance would compound downside risk if long-term rates surge quickly.
