The whole slew got whacked. I think its only the start.
Now some of that is inflation fear, and some selling bonds to buy equities. But there is no question that bonds are going the wrong direction here.

<<5- and 10-year bills got whacked today. That's usually not good for mortgage rates>>

FWIW, I think mortgage rates made a long term bottom. Given the fundamentals, and the current speed of printing, the long term trend is up. Home builders may be a good short once the current momentum is exhausted.....

Increased interest rates will take the the legs out from under the strongest sector of the economy,
namely housing. If indeed this is a bottom in interest rates, housing starts, furnishings, etc. will begin to suffer. If the high tech slowdown is prolonged, these two legs will meet sometime toward the end of the year for a real recession.
