Worried trader
Wall Street is fretting about soaring bond yields.
  • A financial crisis is brewing as bond yields soar, according to JPMorgan Asset Management's David Lebovitz.
  • "Eventually there's going to be a financial accident… something will break," he said Monday.
  • Lebovitz's warning comes with 10-year Treasury yields at 16-year highs.
