Could Rising Bond Yields Trigger the Next Market Reset?
Bond yields are moving higher again, but the major equity indices are not yet signalling a broad market breakdown. That disconnect is worth understanding before it becomes urgent.
In this update, Garry Davis looks at what rising US Treasury yields are telling us, why the growing competition for capital matters, and how investors can prepare without trying to predict when — or even whether — the next major reset arrives.

The immediate market picture is more balanced than the headlines might suggest. The US indices remain relatively calm, the VIX is not signalling panic, and money is rotating into healthcare, financials, energy and materials rather than simply leaving the market. At the same time, the US 10-year yield has risen sharply and the bond market is beginning to reflect a structural pressure that could become much more important over time.
Garry also looks at the abrupt strength in gold, silver and copper, why those moves fit with changing global money flows, and why the right response is not to abandon markets but to stay flexible, know your timeframe and be ready to respond when the evidence changes.
Key message
Rising bond yields are a legitimate warning sign, but a warning is not the same as a timing signal. Markets could remain constructive for a long time yet. The useful response is to understand the risk, monitor the money flows and have a plan before volatility forces a decision on you.
