Surging Yields Threaten Wall Street’s Record-Breaking First Half as Earnings Season Begins

Major US banks are set to report third-quarter earnings next week, marking the start of a pivotal earnings season.

Investors are now focused on whether rising borrowing costs will erode the sector's momentum or if strong AI-related financing will sustain profits.

AI Boom Drives Wall Street to Record Profits, but Rising Yields Threaten the Rally

Wall Street is on track for a record-breaking year, with first-half 2026 profits reaching $45.9 billion, up 51% from last year. This surge is fueled by massive AI investment, robust trading, and a boom in mergers and acquisitions. However, rising interest rates, particularly the 10-year Treasury yield hitting 5.35%, pose a significant risk to this momentum by increasing borrowing costs and potentially dampening dealmaking and consumer activity.
