Connection thesis
VIX spiked to 24.54 (April 1) as the relief narrative began to crack, but 10Y Treasury yield remained elevated at 4.3%, indicating that duration markets haven't yet repriced the re-escalation shock. The disconnect signals lag: equity volatility responded to Trump's Iran comments faster than bond markets. This compression between rising equity risk premiums and sticky long-duration yields historically resolves via either (a) stocks falling further to match the duration repricing, or (b) rates dropping sharply if risk-off deepens. Current price action (SPY -0.19%, QQQ -0.24%) shows only surface-level adjustment. Expect either sharper equity declines or a 10Y yield drop.
