According to The Kobeissi Letter, higher yields are generally viewed as bearish for the stock market because rising borrowing costs slow down economic activity, especially during periods of uncertainty. The Kobeissi Letter further notes that ongoing debates over the US tax bill and increasing deficit spending add to market uncertainty. For crypto traders, this heightened volatility in traditional markets often leads to increased interest in digital assets as alternative investments, potentially impacting Bitcoin and Ethereum trading volumes and price trends (source: @KobeissiLetter, May 21, 2025).
