Analysis-From stocks to bitcoin, soaring US yields cast shadow over risk asset rally

STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSNEW YORK - Surging U.S. Treasury yields are sending shudders through riskier areas of the market, leaving investors to wonder how badly it will dent a rally that has lifted everything from stocks to bitcoin this year.

Rising rates also increase the cost of capital throughout the economy, making it more difficult for everyone from individuals to companies to service debt.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell is due to deliver a talk on the economic outlook on Friday. Investor equity positioning, as measured by Deutsche Bank, dropped for a fourth straight week to a two-month low.
