Data from Bank of America indicates a reduction in the 20-day positive correlation between US investment-grade spreads and the 10-year Treasury yield, which fell from 53% at the start of September to 21%. Simultaneously, the negative interaction between rates and stocks has moderated to 24%, a significant increase from 85% in early August.

This emerging trend suggests that risk assets are gradually building resilience against rate shocks. However, whether this pattern will persist is yet to be determined.
