Higher bond yields matter more than a weak yen for US stocks: Strategist

• Governmental intervention has been a recurring theme, with recent liquidity issues resolved quickly, indicating more inherent market liquidity.
• Reversal of Japanese Yen weakness is unlikely to spill over to the U.S. equity market, unlike previous instances driven by US economic perceptions.
• The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield is expected to remain contained below 5%, with 4.75% being a key level that, if broken, could trigger more pressure.
• Higher Treasury yields impact hyperscaler credit default swaps, and the market faces a 'constant push and pull' until comfortable with the Fed's long-term interest rate direction.

The strategist discusses market liquidity, governmental intervention, and the Japanese Yen's weakness, noting that past issues were quickly resolved. He believes the reversal of Yen weakness is unlikely to significantly impact US equities. The primary focus is on US Treasury yields, with 5% on the 10-year yield being a critical psychological level that he expects to remain contained, despite ongoing market pressures.
