Connection thesis
The 10Y yield at 4.42% combined with a positive 52bp 10Y-2Y spread, elevated unemployment (4.3%), and stable CPI (330.293) creates a mixed macro signal. The market is pricing a soft landing, but real yields remain elevated (10Y 4.42% vs Fed Funds 3.64%), which means rate-cut expectations are muted. This is a narrow window of stability masking underlying duration risk. If long-rate stability breaks, risk assets will reprice downward.
