10-Year Treasury vs Growth Stocks

As you can see in the following chart, there has been a high correlation between high-growth stocks (as measured by the Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK)) and the 10-year treasury rate. More so than for the S&P 500 or the Dow.

The reason is because as the fed raises rates to fight inflation, they slow down the economy as a side affect, and the most growth-oriented names are the most negatively affected.

Considering we just had the largest drop in 10-year treasury rates this week since Covid, it was off-to-the-races for ARKK and high-growth stocks in general.
