Rising yields is giving traders an unpleasant déjà vu of the 2013 ‘taper tantrum’ where markets sold off aggressively as the money market

Rising yields is giving traders an unpleasant&nbsp;d&eacute;j&agrave; vu of the 2013 &lsquo;taper tantrum&rsquo; where markets sold off aggressively as the money markets signaled the end of cheap money.&nbsp;Even though the surge is not as dramatic as 8 years ago it is enough to send equities into a tizzy. So why&nbsp;do markets get rattled by rising bond yields?
 Firstly,&nbsp;Rise in yields indicate the money markets betting on the possibility of higher rates by the central bank&nbsp;as inflation bets rise. In the US its mostly due to improving economic data and traders worried the fed will shift low rates stance earlier than anticipated.&nbsp;Prices in India have been subdued so far but with sharp rises in fuel prices the RBI has also sounded off the concern on inflationary pressure.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Secondly,&nbsp;Investors also reassess portfolio allocations are yields&nbsp;rise,&nbsp;betting more on cheaper safer bond markets as returns become more attractive.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Finally, the cost&nbsp;of capital&nbsp;also rises significantly with rising yields and the debt pressure on the corporate sector enlarges in turn adding pressure on to the stock.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The UK&rsquo;s competition regulator on Thursday launched an antitrust investigation into Apple. The Competition and Markets Authority said it would investigate Apple over complaints from software developers about the tech giant&rsquo;s App Store. Apple only lets developers release iPhone and iPad apps through its iOS smartphone platform. The tech giant has a rigorous approval process for iOS apps and has often faced criticism about an up to 30% fee it charges on in-app transactions. UK authorities have said, complaints that Apple is using its market position to set terms which are unfair or may restrict competition and choice &mdash; potentially causing customers to lose out when buying and using apps &mdash; warrant careful scrutiny. Britain&rsquo;s competition probe into Apple follows similar moves by the European Union last year.
