Beansprout Pro Webinar October 2026: Should you sell stocks as bond yields rise above 5%?

What happened?

Bond yields have climbed sharply, and stock markets are facing renewed volatility.

The US 10-year Treasury yield has risen above 5%, while higher oil prices and concerns about inflation have added to uncertainty over the outlook for interest rates.

This has raised fresh questions for investors about whether it is time to sell stocks, move into bonds, or take advantage of the recent market correction.

In our October 2026 Beansprout Pro Webinar, the Beansprout investment team shared what is driving the rise in bond yields and how we are positioning our portfolio amid the recent market volatility.

We discussed why higher bond yields do not necessarily mean that stocks will fall, how corporate earnings could support the S&P 500, and why bonds are becoming increasingly attractive for income investors.

We also shared whether we are buying DBS, OCBC and UOB after their recent share price declines, why we continue to favour companies with strong earnings and balance sheets, and why we are keeping additional cash available for investment opportunities.
