As borrowing costs continue to rise, experts are warning of a potential stock market correction, underscoring the widening disconnect between equities and the bond market. **Amundi**‘s Chief Investment Officer, **Vincent Mortier**, warned that a market correction is inevitable. Mortier pointed out a shift in narratives within the equity market over the past six weeks, contrasting with bond investors’ focus on the surge in prices for commodities like diesel, petrol, and jet fuel due to Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday. "We will see a correction — the question is more when than if, in my opinion," said Mortier. **Raphaël Thuin**, Head of Capital Markets Strategies at **Tikehau Capital**, expressed concern over the incompatibility of equities at all-time highs and high interest rates and energy markets pricing in a lasting impact on the economy. Thuin suggested that the market is due for a pause. "Short-term, there are good reasons to be nervous," he warned. **Read Also: Michael Burry Says Today's AI Debt Bubble Mirrors The Dot-Com Era** ## **Bond Rout Threatens AI-Led Rally** A government bond sell-off has driven U.S. bond yields to their highest levels in over a year, as investors fear oil prices above $100 a barrel will fuel inflation and prompt central banks, including the Federal Reserve, to raise interest rates. However, the S&P 500 has continued scaling record highs, fueled by a tech-led rally that began in April after reports of a temporary Middle East ceasefire. The 10-year Treasury yield has risen 0.28 percentage points since the ceasefire began amid a broader global bond sell-off, while a key market gauge of inflation expectations, the one-year inflation swap, climbed above 4% for the first time since early 2025. The potential for a market correction comes as the Federal Reserve signals a possible rate hike by December. Meanwhile, economist **Peter Schiff** has warned of a brewing bond market crash, with U.S. Treasuries “breaking down” as yields surge. Despite the recent pullback in precious metals, Schiff said the broader market turmoil makes gold and silver attractive buying opportunities. Despite these concerns, some market observers remain optimistic. **Ed Yardeni**, President of **Yardeni Research**, recently revised his year-end forecast for the S&P 500, setting a new target of 8,250. This suggests that despite potential headwinds, there may still be room for equities to grow. **_Disclaimer_:** _This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors_ _Image via Shutterstock_ **Read Also: Trump's Iran War Risks 'Unmoored' Inflation And 'Weaker Economy,' Warns Moody's Chief Economist As Ed Yardeni Sees July Rate Hike** ### Related Stocks - [.SPX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.SPX.US.md) - [IVV.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IVV.US.md) - [VOO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/VOO.US.md) - [UPRO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/UPRO.US.md) - [SPXS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SPXS.US.md) - [SPY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SPY.US.md) - [SSTK.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SSTK.US.md) - [MCO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MCO.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [ANALYSIS-Bond yield spike is risk to unprepared equities market, investors warn](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286668628.md) - [LIVE MARKETS-In Europe, 'the pessimists are back'](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286894777.md) - [Futures Pointing To Slightly Lower Open On Wall Street](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286773644.md) - [What the biggest mid-cycle earnings acceleration on record means for the stock market](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286399385.md) - [Rare S&P 500 Signals: What History Says About This Rally](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286600805.md)
