Why markets care
Tighter-policy odds raise discount rates and compress multiples, especially in long-duration equities.
Companies / who is affected
High-duration tech and speculative growth usually take the first hit, while value and some financials can hold up better if the curve steepens for the right reasons.
AlphaShot Take. Hawkish surprises hit through yields first. Watch whether the 10Y confirms the narrative before assuming index damage is done.
What happens next
Auction demand and the next inflation print.
