Rates hit decades high: The 30-year Treasury yield reached 5.20%, its highest in 19 years, while the 10-year stayed near 4.6% amid inflation concerns.

Investor positioning shifts: Bond ETFs saw record inflows despite price drops, as some investors bet on eventual rate declines and income opportunities.
