# Vanguard extends bond duration as yields hit multi-year highs

Strategic bond shift: Vanguard increased duration in active bond funds after 10-year Treasury yields exceeded its fair-value range, aiming to boost long-term resilience. Market headwinds build: War-driven energy spikes, sticky inflation, and structural debt concerns have pushed yields to their highest levels in years, challenging stock valuations. Risks for equities: Goldman and others warn that rapid yield rises could tighten liquidity, pressure corporate earnings, and trigger volatility similar to pre-crisis periods.
