Rates → long-duration equities Closelook

A sensitivity, not a forecast — the rate axis only; AI-driven duration risk is the second leg. Model all three levers on the SaaS valuation tool; the thesis is in the second-leg-down pulse.
The world's long end Global · monthly
Major-economy 10-year government yields and their spread to the US — FRED OECD series, monthly (as of June 2026).
| Economy | 10Y yield | vs prior month | vs US 10Y |
|---|---|---|---|
| Germany | 2.97% | −8 | +172 bps |
| United Kingdom | 4.80% | −15 | -11 bps |
| Japan | 2.67% | +2 | +202 bps |
| Canada | 3.42% | −12 | +127 bps |
| France | 3.68% | −6 | +101 bps |
A positive spread = the US 10-year sits above that economy's. Daily foreign yields aren't on the free data stack, so this OECD panel is monthly — a structural read, not a tape.
