It could also be an ominous sign for the return of inflation. While COVID cases continue to trend downwards, and the vaccines continue to chug along, this could now potentially be the biggest risk to equities. With the 10-year hitting its highest level in over a year, the road back to normalcy is both a blessing and a curse.
