Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
MUFG's Q3 2026 review shows earnings absorbing a global duration selloff: Brent rose 42% to about $104, gold gained 3.7% to $4,517, and the 10-year UST yield climbed 68bp to 5.28%, with 30-year yields at multi-decade highs. The dollar firmed modestly and USD/JPY reached the low 160s, its weakest yen level since December 1986. Forecasts see gradual rate declines through 2027, while M&A and IG issuance set records and HY spreads widened.

Key arguments
- Equity earnings absorbed the global duration selloff, with the S&P 500 up 2.3% in Q3 even as 10-year UST yields rose 68bp.
- Duration repricing was global: France +121bp, Italy +98bp, US +82bp, Germany +73bp, and 30-year yields at multi-decade highs.
- Structural dollar strength plus cyclical reinforcement lifted the USD Index 0.3%; USD/JPY hit the low 160s, weakest since December 1986.
- Commodities outperformed, led by energy and refined products, while gold regained footing after a weak Q2.

Main risks
- Rising yields and widening HY credit spreads (HY index +24bp, CCC +237bp) could pressure weaker issuers.
- USD/JPY at the low 160s raises intervention risk and unresolved policy/yield-differential tensions.
- Energy-led commodity gains rest on geopolitical risk premia that could unwind if conflicts de-escalate.
