SocGen: 5.5% 10Y yield is tipping point for stocks

The significance lies in identifying a concrete yield threshold where the bond-equity dynamic flips, offering a reference point for market watchers. It highlights that current earnings strength is cushioning stocks against yield pressure, but the narrowing gap to 5.5% makes the trajectory of both earnings revisions and yields the key tension. For asset allocators, this frames a risk scenario where fixed income becomes structurally more competitive, potentially triggering portfolio shifts. The open question is whether earnings momentum can persist as yields approach that level, or if the cushion erodes first.
