Summary

US-China 10-year yield gap nears record high as Treasury selloff deepens, raising capital outflow risks for China.

AI Analysis

Higher US Treasury yields widen the yield differential, pressuring Chinese assets and CNY, potentially triggering capital outflows. For the broad US market, rising rates raise discount rates, hitting growth and long-duration equities; financials may benefit, but net effect is negative for the S&P 500.
