Bond yields just hit ‘yippy’ levels last seen during the post-Liberation Day meltdown 

Quick Summary:

The 30-year Treasury yield jumped more than 10 basis points, topping 5%, before easing just below that threshold by midday.

While it also calls for less spending, the tax cuts will still deepen the budget deficit by trillions of dollars, further worsening the fiscal picture that Moody's warned on.

On Friday, Moody’s downgraded the U.S.credit rating one notch to Aa1 from AAA, citing "the increase over more than a decade in government debt and interest payment ratios to levels that are significantly higher than similarly rated sovereigns".
