What moved the long end: The 10-year is roughly unchanged over the past month.

Rates → long-duration equities Closelook

The 10-year is the discount-rate axis for long-duration equities. Holding cash flows and duration fixed, a representative SaaS book — priced as a two-stage DCF — moves this much on the rate axis alone:

10Y +25 bps −4.5% on the multiple
10Y +50 bps −8.7% on the multiple
10Y +75 bps −12.5% on the multiple

A sensitivity, not a forecast — the rate axis only; AI-driven duration risk is the second leg. Model all three levers on the SaaS valuation tool; the thesis is in the second-leg-down pulse.

The world's long end Global · monthly

Major-economy 10-year government yields and their spread to the US — FRED OECD series, monthly (as of —).

Germany —%
United Kingdom —%
Japan —%
Canada —%
France —%

A positive spread = the US 10-year sits above that economy's. Daily foreign yields aren't on the free data stack, so this OECD panel is monthly — a structural read, not a tape.
