History shows financial calamities occur when rates rise rapidly like this: 'Something always breaks'
Why now
Thesis: Fast rate moves historically precede financial accidents
Catalyst to watch: Credit spreads widening or funding stress
Main risk: Something breaks in credit or housing
Why it matters
Rapid yield spikes historically precede financial accidents, raising systemic risk as the 10-year hits multi-year highs.
Details
The 10-year Treasury note yield is spiking to levels not seen in years, and that may be a bad omen for financial markets.
