Over the past few days, you've likely seen a constant stream of financial headlines and market analyses, all interpreting the persistently rising bond yields. This market trend has dominated major financial platforms, becoming the most discussed topic in the capital markets recently, and almost no investor or market observer can ignore this significant change. The continued rise in bond yields is one of the most important events currently unfolding in global financial markets. It not only directly impacts the government bond market but also deeply influences the stock, foreign exchange, and commodity markets, affecting the valuation logic of the overall capital market. In fact, this round of yield increases quietly began as early as this summer, but its recent acceleration and widespread adoption are readily apparent to anyone following the market. In the current complex market environment, what are the core factors driving the continued rise in bond yields? How is persistently high inflation eroding corporate operating profit margins and overall profitability? What substantial impact will the across-the-board increase in market financing costs have on ordinary residents' daily consumption and large expenditures? What key economic warning signals directly reflect a continuously weakening business environment? Rick Reed, Chief Investment Officer of Global Fixed Income at BlackRock, stated, "I would say this isn't a full-blown economic crisis, but it's definitely a profound market wake-up call. This market shift harbors numerous hidden economic risks, warranting serious consideration and advance planning from every investor and market participant." Rick Reed possesses years of experience in global fixed income market research and has a precise ability to judge the trends of US Treasury bonds and monetary policy cycles. He was one of the final candidates in the selection process for the Federal Reserve Chairman, and his professional capabilities are widely recognized in the industry; however, this core position was ultimately filled by Kevin Warsh. Reed said, "But I hope all readers will not put the cart before the horse and ignore the core underlying logic behind this round of significant fluctuations in bond yields. The market is filled with various one-sided interpretations, and many self-media outlets and ordinary analysts arbitrarily attribute causes, misleading investors. This market rally is by no means caused by the 'US debt risk warning' claimed by some third-rate financial commentators. Such a statement is completely one-sided, detached from reality, and is not the real driving force behind this round of market activity." Reid stated that the real core reason lies in the fact that high inflation has not been effectively curbed, and the continuously rising inflationary pressure is suppressing the development of the real economy in all aspects, causing the US economy to gradually weaken. While the endogenous driving force of the economy continues to decline, the Federal Reserve continues to tighten monetary policy, constantly raising market financing costs and significantly increasing the cost of funds for business loans and consumer loans. This week, I have been tracking corporate financial reports and executive statements across various industries, capturing several economic warning signals that have been almost ignored by the mainstream market and not given much attention. These details are precisely the key to understanding the current market and are the core content of my analysis this time. Executives at PAYX, a leading US payroll services company, clearly stated in this week's earnings call that the US labor market has entered a stagnant state of "low hiring, low layoffs." Companies are neither daring to significantly expand their workforce or increase their business scale, nor are they taking large-scale layoffs to reduce costs, resulting in a stagnant and depressed overall job market. This phenomenon is by no means a positive signal of economic recovery or a better market; rather, it fully reflects the cautious and pessimistic attitude of companies towards the future economic trend. General Mills (GIS), a consumer goods giant that owns several national food brands such as Fortune cereal, issued a profit warning: Recent price increases in core production materials such as wheat, diesel, and food packaging materials have comprehensively pushed up production costs across the board, and inflationary pressures have been fully transmitted to the real consumer sector. Affected by persistent inflation, the company's operating profit margin will remain under pressure for several quarters and is unlikely to recover. In my view, this real predicament of the real economy precisely confirms the core logic of the Federal Reserve's hawkish officials, such as New York Fed President John Williams, who continue to insist on raising interest rates and tightening monetary policy. The latest financial report from the well-known American country restaurant chain Cookie Bucket (CBRL) shows a sharp 6.1% decline in its quarterly in-store customer traffic, indicating a significant slump in offline consumption. The financial report of restaurant giant Darden Restaurants (DRI) also showed weak performance, with its flagship chain, Olive Garden, experiencing only a 1.1% increase in quarterly sales, almost stagnant. These two sets of core data from the restaurant industry are highly indicative of the market, clearly revealing the true state of consumer spending. The core logic behind this is quite clear: persistently high oil prices have significantly increased the daily travel and living costs for ordinary families, continuously eroding their limited disposable income. This forces people to reduce non-essential spending on offline dining and leisure, leading to an overall weakening of the consumer market. When analyzing capital market trends, one should never rely solely on surface data; identifying the underlying reasons for market fluctuations is crucial. Most investors focus only on the outcome of yield increases or decreases, ignoring the underlying changes in economic fundamentals, which is a major reason for market misjudgments. Worryingly, the underlying fundamentals behind this round of continuous rises in bond yields are generally pessimistic and negative, concealing many significant economic risks.
