Treasury yields above 5% analyzed; historical data shows no clear correlation between yields and stock returns.

So this has changed significantly, largely in part due to, I think, this inflation print. So Adam here has an interesting take. Some investors are freaking out that U.S. Treasury yields are rising above 5%. It's way too high. If you look at the last 73 years, the average 10-year yield was 5.52. So we're still below the long-term average. Will high yields crash the stock market? Will high yields crash the stock market? Well, if you look at the date since the 1950s, there's no clear correlation between stock market returns and the average 10-year yield. In the 90s, when the yield was 6.7%, stocks went up 18%.
