Why it matters
Hooper noted that higher borrowing costs become problematic when the U.S. government is already diverting a significant portion of its budget toward servicing its debt. She stated that higher yields can weigh on equity markets, especially long-duration sectors like technology, and that the risks extend beyond stocks.
