WHAT THIS MEANS

Societe Generale's head of research warns that US Treasuries are losing their traditional safe-haven appeal, suggesting yields will remain range-bound rather than declining sharply during market stress. This indicates reduced demand for traditional defensive assets and potential portfolio rebalancing away from bonds.
