What happened
High U.S. Treasury yields are causing yield compression, which is impacting the valuations of utilities, much like long-duration bonds. Concurrently, the U.S. electrical demand is growing rapidly, driven by factors including hyperscale data centers, factory reshoring, and vehicle electrification. The Department of Energy projects that data centers alone could reach up to 12% of U.S. electrical demand by 2028.

Rising US Treasury yields are driving up mortgage rates and increasing the cost of corporate refinancing, while also setting asset valuation benchmarks.
