🌍 Macro: bond yields vs. tech
US 10-year yield hit 5.35%, a 24-year high, and settled near 5.31%. The 30-year reached 5.67%. Even so, weak US jobs data (September payrolls +29K vs. ~90K expected, unemployment 4.2%) cut Fed rate-hike bets, and markets now price about a 78% chance of a hold this month. 🏦
