Why the current bond market collapse rivals history's worst stock market crashes

The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has recently climbed above 4.9%, marking its highest point since July 2007. This video examines the scale of the ongoing bond sell-off and the investors feeling the impact.

The decline in long-term Treasurys is reaching historic extremes. Since March 2020, 10-year Treasury Bonds have lost nearly 50% of their value, a drop comparable to the 49% equity slump following the dot-com bubble or the 57% crash after the 2007-2008 financial crisis. This current collapse is twice as severe as the 1981 meltdown, when 10-year yields approached 16%.
