## Prediction

The renewed rise of the US 10-year yield to around 5%, coupled with a stronger dollar, is likely to spark another wave of pressure on emerging-market currencies within 24 hours. Investors will de-risk high-yield local debt and equities, particularly in countries with external deficits or commodity import dependence. This move will tighten financial conditions just as energy prices spike from Hormuz, amplifying stress in frontier economies. Evidence would include notable intraday weakening in EM FX indices and specific currencies like the Turkish lira, Egyptian pound, and South African rand; a dovish surprise from US policymakers or a sharp pullback in yields would dampen this effect.

## Drivers

- Reports that US 10-year Treasury yields have jumped back to around 5%
- US annual interest costs surpassing $1T signaling structural fiscal strain
- Historically strong linkage between US yield spikes and EM FX outflows
