S&P 500 and the 10-Year Yield

Here’s an interesting stat I found.

Since 2007, the S&P 500 has done much better when the yield on the 10-year T-bond has been below 3.5% than when it has been above 3.5%.

When the 10-year yield has been below 3.5%, the S&P 500 has gained a combined 78.6%.

When the 10-year yield has been above 3.5%, the S&P 500 has lost 50.2%.

The 10-year is currently at 2%.
