Ed Yardeni, president of investment advisory Yardeni Research, warns that the stock market will get “spooked” if a bond market selloff pushes the 10-year Treasury yield close to 5%. “We could see a pullback, but I think it would be temporary and perhaps healthy, preparing the stock market for the next leg up.”
