Original: 📉 Warum verkaufen die Profis? Der Realzins entscheidet! Mit 2,9 % stehen die US-Realzinsen auf dem höchsten Stand seit 2

US real interest rates have climbed to 2.9 percent, their highest level since 2008, prompting debate about why professional investors are selling risk assets.

Why now: Investors are worried that high real yields are pulling money out of stocks and other risk assets.
