Yields Pressure Stocks, Yet Earnings Momentum Keeps Me Buying the Dip
Despite the S&P 500’s earnings-driven optimism, a rally in long-term yields (30-year above 5% and a breakout in the 10-year) adds risk to stocks. A potential Iran deal could help cool yields before the July FOMC, but if the long end keeps rising I’ll trim risk. The AAII sentiment shows a contrarian tilt, and I’m still buying the pullback—staying bullish on earnings while staying nimble and ready to reduce exposure if yields resume their ascent.
