## Prediction

In the next 24 hours, US long-dated Treasury yields are likely to edge higher, with the 10-year moving another 5–15 basis points up as traders internalize the outsized July deficit and sustained issuance needs. Equity valuations, particularly rate-sensitive tech and utilities, will feel pressure, while the dollar initially benefits from yield differentials despite structural concerns. The move will tighten global financial conditions and raise borrowing costs for emerging markets already stressed by energy price spikes. Confirmation would be weak auction bid-to-cover ratios and steeper curves; a contrarian outcome would be a sudden flight-to-safety rally if Hormuz developments trigger broader risk-off sentiment that overwhelms supply worries.

## Drivers

- July US deficit far exceeding consensus at $432.3B
- Recent 10-year auction pricing at highest yield since 2007
- Market narrative that US borrowing needs structurally outpace demand
