It’s not the sexiest topic, but it’s one of the most important.

Treasury yields — the return on investment on U.S. debt — play a huge role in the stock market.

Higher yields make it more expensive for companies to borrow money. Rising yields also tell investors that capital could move out of the market, causing a market downturn.

The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield is one of the biggest economic benchmarks. When the yield rises, mortgage rates and other borrowing rates also go up. A drop in 10-year yields causes mortgage rates to fall, which has a positive impact on the broader economy.

In this episode of The Bull & The Bear, I’ll tell you if the treasury yield’s current position is a sign of a market crash on the horizon.
