US 10-Year Yields Hit 2007 Highs
With US 10-year yields at their highest since 2007 and global rates rising across major economies, markets are pricing in a near-certain Fed hike amid fiscal and oil-driven inflation fears. Investors are increasingly rotating into floating-rate senior loan ETFs to mitigate the impact of these surging borrowing costs.

The report highlights that this broad rate surge is driving a tactical shift toward floating-rate instruments, specifically citing Virtus Seix and Invesco senior loan ETFs as vehicles to hedge against rising borrowing costs.
