🔄 Connection to U.S. Stocks and EUR/USD

- Investors are eager to buy U.S. debt, pushing prices up and yields down.

🔴 If Demand Is Weak (Yields Rise):
- Investors require higher returns, possibly due to inflation fears or policy tightening expectations.
- This pushes yields up, increasing borrowing costs and reducing the attractiveness of risk assets.
- Stocks typically decline, and the dollar strengthens.
