Treasury yields surged to 4.04% on February 25, 2026, as haven demand collapsed amid renewed investor risk appetite, marking the sharpest weekly drop in bond prices. The dollar weakened for the first time this week, reversing gains as traders shifted capital into higher-growth assets, particularly technology stocks. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 led market gains, reflecting a broader pivot from safe-haven assets like bonds to equities amid improving economic sentiment. Federal Reserve policymakers, including Alberto Musalem, were scheduled to speak later on February 25, potentially influencing market volatility amid shifting monetary expectations. The rally in risk assets underscored waning recession fears, with investors favoring growth-oriented sectors over traditional havens like Treasuries and the dollar.
