One time-tested principle of investing is, \u201cwhen bond yields move higher, bond prices tend to move lower.\u201d<\/p>\n

Investors are doing a \u201cdouble take\u201d on the 10-year Treasury yield, which recently topped 1.5% \u2014 its highest level in about a year. With the increase in yield comes a drop in price.1<\/sup><\/p>\n

For some, the first time they experience a change in bond prices is when they open their monthly statement and review their investments.<\/p>\n

But before you check your February statement, here is some background that may help put the most recent move in long-term rates in perspective.<\/p>\n

The interest rate on the 10-year Treasury dropped steadily in the first half of 2020 and bottomed at 0.54% in late July. While rates remain at low levels, the yield on the 10-Year Treasury has nearly tripled in the past seven months. That\u2019s a significant increase in a relatively short period.2<\/sup><\/p>\n

Bond yields may increase for several reasons\u2014some of them good (strong economic growth) and some of them concerning (accelerating inflation). Bond investors are anticipating a pick-up in economic growth and appear concerned about inflation due to the Fed\u2019s easy monetary stance and federal fiscal spending in response to the pandemic.<\/p>\n

The question is, at what point do stock investors begin to worry about higher bond yields. That answer may be if 10-year Treasury yields start to rival the dividend yield on the S&P 500.3<\/sup><\/p>\n

Remember, the Federal Reserve has reiterated its support for its zero-interest-rate policy, but much of the Fed\u2019s influence is on short-term interest rates. Market forces play a larger role in determining long-term rates like the 10-year Treasury.4<\/sup><\/p>\n

Bonds can play an important part in any portfolio, but like any investment, periods of volatility are expected.
