The AI's read

30-year Treasury yield jumped to 5.31%, the highest since June 2007. That move pushed TLT down to multi-decade lows near $81.38. The market reaction so far is modest, about -0.8% on TLT and RSI around 48, so a deeper repricing is still possible. Rising long-end yields are uncompensated by near-term Fed hike odds, which lifts term premium risks. We lean bearish on TLT because higher long yields directly hit long-duration ETF prices and fiscal-driven supply worries can keep pressure on the curve. Conviction 84% for this take, but expect whipsaw risk in the current consolidation regime.
