Markets are digesting a clear rates move catalyst titled "Foreign holdings of US Treasuries rose $83B in August to $9.33T (6th-highest on record); Canada +$38B to $465B". Moves in duration reprice equity multiples and credit conditions across the whole board, not just one sector. That is the near-term setup investors are pricing, not a settled regime change.
Rate-sensitive growth stocks, REITs, and long-duration tech usually feel the move first when the long end jumps or collapses. Yields are the transmission with the 10Y near 5.15%: the equity implication only sticks if the long end stays in motion after the headline. Follow-through in the 10Y over the next session.
