The US 10-year yield has pulled back just a touch during early trading here on Wednesday from the 4.80% level. We are getting very elevated here. That being said, this pullback might just end up being a pullback that brings higher yields. We’ll just have to wait and see. Clearly, that’s been the story here. Higher yields will have a major influence on multiple markets, so we’ll be watching that.
