Americans receiving <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40800774/gen-xs-looming-retirement-crisis-is-worse-than-they-realize-expert-compares-it-to-being-handed-a">Social Security payments</a> may see less of an increase next year, according to a nonprofit group that represents senior citizens.
The Social Security Administration is poised to announce its yearly cost of living adjustment (COLA) for payments to 71 million Americans in the middle of next month, effective in January 2025. The government agency handed out a 3.2% increase for this year last October.
The Senior Citizens League expects a 2.5% increase for next year, based on inflation falling from 2.9% in July to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40815794/fed-is-all-clear-for-launch-on-cutting-rates-as-inflation-falls-to-lowest-point-in-">2.5% in August</a>.
By law, the annual inflation adjustment is based on the average inflation during July, August, and September&nbsp;as measured by the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W).

The Bureau of Labor Statistics averages the CPI-W for these three months and then compares it with the same time frame from the previous year. The percentage difference between the two is the COLA, payable for checks received in January 2025. 
The league says the expected 2.5% increase will not be enough for seniors to meet the higher cost of living. 
Nearly 80% of senior households report that their monthly budget for essential items like food, housing, and prescription drugs had increased over the last 12 months, according to a 2024 survey taken by the organization. Almost two-thirds &#8212; 63% &#8212; say they&#8217;re worried that their income won&#8217;t be enough to cover these basic costs in the coming months.
&#8220;Ensuring that seniors have enough to feed and house themselves with dignity is a major reason why we advocate for a minimum COLA of 3%,&#8221; said Shannon Benton, the league&#8217;s executive&nbsp;director.&nbsp;
She said about two-thirds of seniors rely on Social Security for more than half of their monthly income, and 28% depend on it entirely.

Social Security Payments Set For 2.5% Increase Next Year; Retirement-Oriented Dividend Stocks Like Coca-Cola, Wells Fargo See Gains

Bond traders predict that the Federal Reserve&#8216;s<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/06/39506407/6-biggest-us-banks-ramp-up-buybacks-undeterred-by-stress-tests"> interest-rate cuts </a>will go well beyond what the agency has forecast for the next nine months.
Traders in the U.S. rates options market expect a much higher 3 percentage points worth of cuts by March. This dwarfs the Fed&#8217;s recent projections of just 25 basis points of reductions by the end of 2024 and a total 125-basis-point cut by the end of next year, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-25/bond-traders-boldly-bet-on-300-basis-points-of-fed-cuts-by-march?cmpid=BBD062624_OUS&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_term=240626&amp;utm_campaign=openamericas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">reported</a>.
Options-market activity related to the secured overnight financing rate over the past three sessions show a significant upside if the Fed reduced its key rate by 300 basis points to 2.25% by next year&#8217;s first quarter.

This scenario would allow traders to hedge other investments, but it is an unlikely outcome unless the U.S. economy plummets into recession.
Investors have been keeping a close eye on economic data and remarks by Fed officials for any clues on the timing of eventual Fed easing while hedging against extreme rate cuts and other tail-risk outcomes.

Bond Traders Expect Much Deeper Interest Rate Cuts Than Projected

Markets are expecting the neutral rate &#8212; a theoretical rate that remains stable due to full employment and stable inflation &#8212; to stay higher than policymakers are forecasting. What does this mean for bond <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/bond-etfs-unfazed-by-fed-decision-to-keep-rates-steady/ar-BB1ob69W">exchange-traded funds</a>?
A higher neutral rate may limit the Federal Reserve&#8217;s ability to cut interest rates, possibly causing headwinds for bonds, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-23/how-long-will-high-rates-last-bond-markets-say-maybe-forever?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg </a>reports. 
Forward contracts on the five-year interest rate in the next five years — a proxy for the market's view of where U.S. rates might land — have stagnated at 3.6%. That is down from last year's peak of 4.5%, but it's still more than one full percentage point higher than the average over the past decade and above the Fed's own estimate of 2.75%.
This indicates the market is pricing in a much more elevated floor for yields, according to Bloomberg. This may limit bond performance, which might hamper investors&#8217; hopes for the kind of bond rally that saved them late last year.

Investor sentiment is rising steadily, but a Bloomberg gauge of Treasury returns was down just 0.3% in 2024 as of Friday, after shedding 3.4% for the year at its low point. Benchmark yields are down about half a percentage point from their year-to-date peak in April, Bloomberg reported.
The true level of the neutral rate, also known as R-Star, may take an upward trend that would reverse a decades-long downward drift on expectations for large and protracted government budget deficits and increased spending on battling climate change.
Further gains in bonds may require a more pronounced slowdown in inflation and growth to prompt interest rate cuts more quickly and deeply than the Fed currently envisions. A higher neutral rate would make this scenario less likely, according to Bloomberg.
Economists expect&nbsp;data next week&nbsp;to show that the Fed's preferred gauge of underlying inflation slowed to an annualized rate 2.6% last month from 2.8%. 
That is the lowest reading since March 2021, but it still exceeds the Fed's goal for 2% inflation. And the unemployment rate has been at or below 4% for more than two years, the best performance since the 1960s.
Price action: iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AGG#NYSE">AGG</a>) was up 0.01%, the Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BND#NASDAQ">BND</a>) was down 0.04% and the Vanguard Total International Bond Index Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNDX#NASDAQ">BNDX</a>) slipped 0.12% at the time of publication Monday.

Market's Higher Neutral Rate Expectations May Challenge Bond ETFs

The European Central Bank is universally <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/39029946">expected to cut interest rates for the Euro area this week</a>.
Cutting back on interest rates for the first time in two decades can be seen as a positive sign for the dwindling European economy, which has been hit by slow growth and poor demographic patterns.
Average inflation in Euro area countries has been mostly on a downward trend since last year, reaching an annual 2.4% in both March and April, down from a peak of 10.6% in October 2022.
The measure, however, is very dynamic within the block, with figures as low as 0.4% for Lithuania and as high as 4.9% in Belgium.
The ECB commenced its latest rate hike cycle in July 2022. Key ECB interest rates, the European counterpart for the federal funds rate, was hiked a total of 10 times and now stands at 4%. The same rate has been kept steady since September of last year.
June's cut will bring the rate down by 25 basis points to a floor of 3.75%.
Yet the steady pace towards the ideal measure of 2% annual inflation might be hitting a roadblock this month, as Eurostat, the block's main statistics office, is estimatfing that May's inflation has gone up to 2.6%, above estimates of 2.5%.
If the measure is confirmed, it won&#8217;t interfere with plans to lower interest rates. It might influence a decision by the ECB to pause rates during July and slow the speed of rate cuts down the line.
Bloomberg Economics has <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-01/central-banks-latest-world-rate-paths-set-to-diverge-with-ecb-s-first-cut?sref=TBDibEcD">forecast</a> a pause in July and further cuts in September, October and December.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What This Means For US</h3>
Timing for the EU's latest inflationary cycle is in line with the U.S.'s wave of price increases. Both territories have been subject to the same variables. Energy prices, for example, are affected by the Ukraine/Russia war.
Yet the block's inflation is easing faster than in the U.S.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38842603/us-inflation-falls-as-expected-in-april-bolsters-fed-rate-cut-bets">Yearly U.S. inflation was 3.4% in April</a>, down from 3.5% in March. 
On Friday, the Fed's preferred measure for inflation, the Personal Consumption Expenditure, was released for the month of April, showing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/05/39110198/feds-preferred-inflation-gauge-matches-estimates-personal-income-spending-slow-mo">a steady course, with a 2.7% annual rise as compared to the previous year</a>.
In a Monday interview, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari advocated for maintaining the current Fed funds rate in the U.S. for a longer period <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/06/39131539/feds-neel-kashkari-advocates-for-no-interest-rate-cut-until-we-get-a-lot-more-data-to-convince-us-am">to avoid the risk of jeopardizing U.S. economic prosperity</a>.
The EU's decision will further widen the gap with the cost of borrowing in the U.S., where the federal funds rate now stands at between 5.25% and 5.5%.
Canada is also expected to slash rates this week, in a decision to be confirmed on Wednesday, also widening the gap of borrowing cost across the Northern border, putting further pressure on the Fed to begin slashing rates sooner rather than later.
Canada's annual inflation rate also shows a better trajectory than its American counterpart, having dropped to 2.7% in April, down from 2.9% in March.
An upcoming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jobs-report">jobs report</a> this Friday will further inform the Fed in its upcoming decisions. Economists are estimating the creation of 190,000 jobs in May.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Stocks And Other Assets To Watch </h3>
Fixed-income securities like government bonds tend to go up as interest rates are slashed.
Their prices will likely be affected by expectations around upcoming rate cuts in the U.S.
Last week, Bank of America chief investment strategist Michael Hartnett said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/39116124/bank-of-america-strategist-shifts-to-bonds-stock-sell-off-prophecy-on-benign-inflat">he's bullish on bonds for the second half of the year as expectations</a> on rate cuts grow and may even become realized.
He said to "buy any dip in bond prices," while recommending to "sell the first cut" for stocks.
While there are many ways to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-bonds">buy government bonds</a>, investors can also access the bond market by purchasing bond ETFs like iShares Core US Aggregate Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AGG#NYSE">AGG</a>) and Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BND#NASDAQ">BND</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Real Estate</h3>
The real estate market has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/39110330">one of the worst hit by the recent wave of rate increases</a>, as the cost of borrowing for both commercial and personal building and renovation has skyrocketed.
Expectations on rate cuts could turn out to be a lifeline for the sector, which is covered by ETFs like Vanguard Real Estate Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VNQ#NYSE">VNQ</a>), Schwab US REIT ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHH#NYSE">SCHH</a>) and Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLRE#NYSE">XLRE</a>).

Pressure Mounts On Fed As Eurozone, Canada Plan Interest Rate Cuts This Week

Investors are growing increasingly concerned about the potential impact of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38104382/serious-debate-needed-to-avert-2025-us-debt-crisis-warns-wharton-expert">mounting U.S. debt</a> on the bond market, with the issue expected to take center stage as the presidential election approaches.
What Happened: The U.S. government&#8217;s debt is expected to balloon, potentially overshadowing an anticipated bond rally. This is due to the ongoing large fiscal deficits, which show no signs of abating ahead of the presidential election, Reuters reported on Friday.
Investors are already adjusting their portfolios to mitigate potential losses if Treasury yields surge due to supply and demand imbalances. There are also concerns that the uncertainty surrounding the necessary debt for deficit spending could destabilize the $27 trillion Treasury market, a cornerstone of the global financial system.
Despite the focus on the Federal Reserve&#8217;s potential interest rate cuts, analysts and investors anticipate that fiscal concerns will become more pronounced as the election nears. Both President Joe Biden and Republican candidate Donald Trump have not made reducing deficit spending a priority, according to the report.

Why It Matters: The concerns over rising U.S. debt come amid a broader financial landscape marked by significant shifts. On May 16, disinflation hopes began reshaping Treasury yields, with expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts influencing market trends.
This shift contributed to an optimistic sentiment about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/macro-notification/24/05/38880563/disinflation-hopes-reshape-treasury-yields-major-trend-5-bond-etfs-poised-to-rally-on-">potential rallies in bond ETFs</a>, such as the Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BND#NASDAQ">BND</a>) and iShares J.P.

Investors Fear Mounting US Debt Could Overshadow Bond Rally Ahead Of Presidential Elections

A major trend shift is unfolding in the bond market, as key Treasury yields are currently testing the support of the crucial 200-day moving average, following the release of benign economic data that has cemented investor bets on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38842603/us-inflation-falls-as-expected-in-april-bolsters-fed-rate-cut-bets">Federal Reserve rate cuts.</a>
Last month, the inflation rate calculated using the consumer price index (CPI) came in at 3.4% compared to the same month last year, down from 3.5% in March, and in line with the forecasted 3.4% increase. The &#8220;core&#8221; inflation rate, which excludes volatile energy and food prices, also matched estimates, falling from 3.8% to 3.6%.
April's inflation reading has raised hopes that the disinflation trend may restart after three consecutive higher-than-predicted CPI readings in the first quarter. 
In his recent comments, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell downplayed concerns about a possible hike in interest rates, signaling that the next adjustment would likely be a reduction. However, he emphasized this cut might come later than the markets initially anticipated.
Money markets are currently factoring in a 50 basis point reduction in interest rates by the end of the year, with a 70% chance for the Federal Reserve to begin its loosening cycle in September.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Treasury Yields Eye 200-Day Moving Average Support</h1>
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note traded at around 3.36% on Thursday, hitting an intraday low of 3.31%, temporarily sliding below the 200-day average positioned at 3.33%. 
Similarly, yields on both 2-year and 30-year Treasury notes are currently testing the support of the 200-day average.
The 200-day moving average is a widely watched technical indicator that helps investors gauge the long-term trend of a security or index. 
When Treasury yields fall below this level, it often signals a bearish or downward trend, suggesting that investors are seeking safer assets amid expectations of a slowing economy or lower interest rates. This shift can create a more favorable environment for bond prices, which move inversely to yields.
Here&#8217;s a snapshot of the current yield levels compared to their 200-day moving averages, as well as their 2024 high-to-low range.

<li>iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>): This ETF tracks long-term U.S. Treasury bonds and is particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates. With long-dated yields falling, TLT could see sharp gains as it moves inversely to yields. In reaction to April&#8217;s inflation data, it rose 1.4% on the day.</li>
<li>Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BND#NYSE">BND</a>): A broader option, BND includes a mix of short-, medium-, and long-term bonds. Its diversified approach makes it a stable choice as market sentiments shift. Following the latest inflation statistics, BND inched 0.6% higher.</li>
<li>iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LQD#NYSE">LQD</a>): As rate cut expectations strengthen, investment-grade corporate bonds could see price increases. LQD offers exposure to this segment.</li>
<li>SPDR Bloomberg High Yield Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNK#NYSE">JNK</a>): Higher risk and higher reward, JNK covers the high-yield, or &#8220;junk,&#8221; bond market. Rate cuts often boost these bonds as investors hunt for yield.</li>
<li>iShares J.P. Morgan USD Emerging Market Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EMB#NYSE">EMB</a>): As Treasury yields retreat and the Fed hints at a slower pace for rate hikes, emerging markets bonds could benefit from increased investor appetite for higher-yielding assets. Notably, EMB rose 1.1% on Wednesday, positively reacting to inflation data. </li>

Disinflation Hopes Reshape Treasury Yields' Major Trend: 5 Bond ETFs Poised To Rally On Fed Rate Cuts

The bond market is showing new signs of unpredictability as expectations over Fed rate cuts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/opinion/24/03/37938028/exclusive-interest-rates-rode-the-elevator-up-but-analyst-predicts-theyll-take-the-stairs-coming-dow">shift with every new piece of economic data</a>.
Last week, Fed Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/03/37857035/fed-chair-powell-opens-door-to-rate-cuts-this-year-downplays-recent-inflation-upt">rate cuts for this year are being decided on a meeting-by-meeting basis</a>. Therefore, it's not possible to predict how much the cost of borrowing will drop in 2024.
However, some investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/03/37900527/federal-reserve-pushes-stocks-to-record-highs-as-rate-cuts-loom-nvidia-rallies-appl">continue to price in at least three rate cuts this year</a>. This took the S&amp;P 500 and other market gauges to record heights last week.
Investors priced in significant rate cuts for 2024 during the first two months, as inflation showed consistent signs of easing. 
But rising prices from February's CPI report came in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/03/37615483/inflation-rises-more-than-expected-to-3-2-rebuffs-expectations-of-june-fed-rate-cut">above economist expectations</a>. And stronger than expected economic activity shows that inflation could be harder to tame than many had hoped.
Meanwhile, the fear of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36614222/stagflation-in-2024-red-sea-crisis-could-trigger-domino-effect-for-global-costs">stagflation</a> is weighing on optimism.

How Treasury Notes Are Reacting: Treasury yields, which come down with interest rate cuts, continue to hang on attractive levels.
The yield on the 10-year U.S. The Treasury note was 4.25% on Tuesday, keeping the cost of borrowing money high for prospective homebuyers looking to get into a mortgage, as well as for corporate borrowers.
The 30-year fixed mortgage rate is still gravitating around 7%, which is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/03/37855254/are-you-a-housing-market-lock-in-high-mortgage-rates-result-in-people-not-living-in-homes-they-w">negatively affecting the U.S. housing market</a>.
Yields on Treasury assets set the floor on mortgages and the general cost of borrowing, as mortgage lenders keep interest rates above bond yields in order to attract similar investors, who would otherwise just decide to invest in Treasury notes.
Yields on the 10-year note peaked at 5% in October of last year. They quickly dropped as it became apparent that the Fed's monetary policy was working. The 10-year Treasury yield went from 3.86% at the start of the year to today's 4.25%.
Investors today are <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/investing/treasury-yields-rising-fed-interest-rate-expectations-4a157a85?mod=hp_lead_pos11">more</a> moderate in their rate cut expectations. Current yields continue to reflect expectations that the Fed will cut rates in the future. They are now expecting that prediction to come true on a longer timescale.
Investors continue to expect yields to drop. The only thing that could take yields back to October's heights would be if the market receives very strong signals of economic acceleration, taking inflation back up again.
Retail investors can gain diversified exposure to the bond market by purchasing bond ETFs. The largest ones include Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BND#NASDAQ">BND</a>), iShares Core US Aggregate Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AGG#NYSE">AGG</a>) and iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>).

Bond Traders Think Interest Rate Cuts Are Ahead, But One Caveat Keeps Yields Above 4%

Vanguard has become a towering figure <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">in the world of exchange-traded funds (ETFs)</a>. 
As investors increasingly turn to ETFs for their diversification, lower costs, and liquidity, understanding the offerings and strategies of major players like Vanguard is essential. 
Yet, amidst this expansive array of financial instruments, one notable absence in Vanguard&#8217;s portfolio raises eyebrows: the lack of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bitcoin-etf">Bitcoin ETF. </a>
Here, we delve into the five critical factors about Vanguard ETFs, also explaining why a Bitcoin ETF is deliberately missing from their portfolio lineup.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Vanguard&#8217;s Status In The ETF Arena</h3>
Vanguard ranks as the second-largest ETF issuer globally, overseeing a diverse portfolio of over a hundred ETFs and boasting an impressive $2.5 trillion in assets under management (AUM), just shy of BlackRock Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>), which leads with $2.7 trillion AUM.
The Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>), with $426 billion in AUM as of Mar. 14, 2024, is not only Vanguard&#8217;s flagship fund but also the world&#8217;s second-largest ETF, trailing slightly behind the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) at $503 billion.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Conservative Product Range</h3>
Unlike some of its peers, Vanguard has opted for a more conservative route in its ETF offerings. The company does not offer leveraged ETFs, sticking strictly to equity and fixed-income products. 
This strategic choice highlights Vanguard&#8217;s focus on traditional investment vehicles over speculative or alternative assets. Vanguard&#8217;s portfolio notably lacks any commodities, currency, or Bitcoin-related ETFs.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Absence of Bitcoin and Crypto ETFs</h3>
This absence isn&#8217;t due to oversight but a deliberate decision. Vanguard has explicitly stated it has no plans to introduce a Bitcoin ETF or any other crypto-related products, distinguishing itself from other major ETF issuers — such as BlackRock, VanEck, Franklin Templeton, WisdomTree, Invesco, Fidelity, Global X, 21 Shares and ProShares – who have embraced the crypto bandwagon.
Why No Bitcoin ETF? Vanguard&#8217;s Reasoning
Vanguard&#8217;s stance on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies is grounded in a cautious approach to investment merit and client needs. Janel Jackson, global head of ETF Capital Markets and broker &amp; index relations at Vanguard, has expressed skepticism about the role of cryptocurrencies in long-term portfolios. 
Citing crypto&#8217;s speculative nature, lack of inherent economic value, and potential to disrupt portfolio stability, Vanguard sees crypto as an &#8220;immature asset class.&#8221; 
Instead, the company invests its interest in blockchain technology for its potential to enhance capital market efficiency, steering clear of cryptocurrencies as investment products.

5 Things You Need To Know About Vanguard ETFs: Why There's No Bitcoin ETF In Their Lineup?

As 2023 concludes, the bond market has witnessed a remarkable rally, bolstered by the strength of the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36058438/federal-reserve-to-implement-six-rate-cuts-in-2024-amid-economic-slowdown-says-ing"> U.S. economy and a reduction in inflationary pressures.</a>
Despite this, some analysts caution that investor optimism might be overly optimistic for the upcoming year, The Wall Street Journal&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/investing/five-investors-on-how-to-navigate-the-bond-market-in-2024-d6e802d2?mod=hp_lead_pos3">reports</a>.
What Happened: This past year, the bond market&#39;s journey has been marked by significant volatility. The 10-year U.S. Treasury note yield, a key market indicator, has dramatically fluctuated.
Initially driven to highs not seen in over a decade by concerns over persistent high interest rates, these yields have since retreated due to various factors, including banking sector stresses and shifts in Federal Reserve policies, WSJ reports.&nbsp;
From its peak of over 5% in October, the highest in 16 years, the yield has retreated by a full percentage point, easing fears about its impact on broader economic factors such as mortgage and corporate loan rates.
There&#39;s a growing belief among economists and market participants in a &#39;soft landing&#39; scenario, where inflation recedes without triggering major economic downturns like increased unemployment or a recession.
However, the bond market is not without its challenges. Issues such as the expanding fiscal deficit, the impending need to refinance low-rated corporate debt, and the final phases of the Fed&#39;s anti-inflationary measures loom large.
Insights provided&nbsp;to the Journal&nbsp;by&nbsp;five seasoned investors reveal diverse perspectives on the future of inflation and the likelihood of a recession.

George Bory, the chief investment strategist for fixed income at Allspring Global Investments, told WSJ that the risks to the macroeconomy hinge on the market&rsquo;s most significant assumption: inflation&nbsp;will fall smoothly and orderly toward the Fed&rsquo;s 2% target.
&ldquo;Our base case is inflation does come down, but not as orderly as the market thinks,&rdquo; Bory said. &ldquo;Ultimately getting to 2% will be challenging for the Fed without a notable slowdown in growth.&rdquo;&nbsp;
James St. Aubin, the chief investment officer at Sierra Mutual Funds, expresses concerns about the combined effects of higher interest rates and stricter lending standards potentially leading the economy into a recession.
He warns of the potential for a sudden economic downturn: &quot;Everyone always sees a soft landing just before a recession. Then something happens. Things slow down abruptly.&quot;
On a more optimistic note, Rick Rieder, BlackRock&nbsp;chief investment officer of global fixed income, is enthusiastic about the prospects for 2024. He sees significant bond opportunities, favoring investment-grade bonds and European corporate debt. &quot;This is an environment where you can clip 6.5% to 7% without taking that risk,&quot; Rieder told the Journal.
Frances Donald, global chief economist at Manulife Investment Management, suggests that the market might be underestimating the chances of a recession or inflation dropping below the Fed&#39;s target. She advocates for investing in bonds despite potential economic headwinds.
Torsten Slok, chief economist at Apollo Global Management, emphasizes the importance of considering the bond supply and government fiscal policies. He believes the market will pay more attention to Treasury auctions than ever before, telling WSJ, &quot;The market needs to take the bond supply more seriously.&quot;
For investors seeking opportunities in the bond market, here are three ETFs to consider:
<ol>
<li>
iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (ARCA:AGG): Offers diverse exposure to U.S. investment-grade bonds, including government and corporate bonds. Ideal for stable, core bond investments.
</li>
<li>
Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bnd#NASDAQ">BND</a>): Provides comprehensive access to the U.S. bond market, covering government, corporate, and municipal bonds. Suitable for broad market exposure.
</li>
<li>
SPDR Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Bond ETF (ARCA:JNK): Focuses on high-yield bonds with higher risk and return potential. Good for investors seeking greater income potential.
</li>
</ol>
Each ETF caters to different risk profiles and investment strategies, making them interesting options for diversifying an investment portfolio in the bond sector.

Investor Optimism Tested: Navigating 2024 Bond Market's Uncertain Terrain

The traditional 60/40 investment portfolio has recorded a remarkable year of growth in 2023, sharply rebounding from a disappointing year in 2022. As of Dec. 27, the year-to-date performance of the 60/40 portfolio, benchmarked by the iShares Core Growth Allocation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AOR#NYSE">AOR</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-the-60-40-investment-strategy">stands at approximately 13%. </a>
This performance figure ranks as the third-best year for the strategy since its inception in 2008, trailing only behind the strong years of 2009 and 2019.
As we enter the new year, investors are pondering whether the favorable conditions that supported both equities and bonds in the second half of the year will endure.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">60/40 Portfolio In 2022-2023: From Downturn to Upswing</h2>
The 60/40 portfolio is a time-tested investment strategy known for its simplicity and effectiveness. It involves allocating 60% of the portfolio to stocks and 40% to bonds, with the aim to strike a balance between risk and reward.
Stocks offer the potential for higher returns but come with higher risk, while bonds generally provide lower but more stable returns. By combining both asset classes, the portfolio naturally diversifies, potentially reducing the risk of significant losses since stocks and bonds often react differently to market conditions.
In 2022, the traditional 60/40 portfolio faced one of its most challenging years due to the Fed&#8217;s aggressive interest rate hikes, which created strong headwinds for both equities and fixed-income assets.
The gauge fell as much as 17%, wiping out a sizable portion of the pandemic rally. 
An initial $1,000 investment in a 60/40 portfolio at the beginning of 2022 dipped to less than $800 by November of that year, only to rebound to its current value of $928.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="650" height="650" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/27172235/newplot-5-1.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-170022" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/27172235/newplot-5-1.jpeg 650w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/27172235/newplot-5-1-300x300.jpeg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/27172235/newplot-5-1-150x150.jpeg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /></figure>
However, as inflation subsided in 2023, traders began to anticipate a normalization of elevated interest rates, betting on the Federal Reserve reducing borrowing costs in 2024. 
Money markets currently factor in six rate cuts by 25 basis points next year, a figure substantially higher than the indications given by Federal Reserve officials at the latest meeting, with the dot-plot showing a median preference for 75-basis-point cuts.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Will the 60/40 Portfolio Continue to Rally in 2024?</h2>
Looking ahead to 2024, it remains to be seen whether the numerous rate cuts currently priced in by the market will be delivered by the Federal Reserve. 
If these rate cuts materialize, bond yields are likely to continue heading lower, benefiting fixed-income assets and potentially rate-sensitive stocks such as those in the technology, real estate, and financial sectors.
On the other hand, if the decline in inflation stalls or fresh pressures emerge, the Federal Reserve may find it inappropriate to deliver as many rate cuts as currently expected by market participants. 
This could lead to disappointment in the markets and potentially weigh on both equities and bonds.
In summary, the 60/40 portfolio has made a strong comeback in 2023, but its performance in 2024 will depend on whether the anticipated rate cuts materialize and how economic factors evolve.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5 Strategies to Create a 60/40 Portfolio</h2>
Aside from the iShares Core Growth Allocation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AOR#NYSE">AOR</a>), there are several other ways for investors to construct a 60/40 portfolio.

60/40 Portfolio Bounces Back From 2022 Slump: Is It The Right Investment Strategy For 2024?

New research from Goldman Sachs reveals that U.S. Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) have surpassed the threshold of $8 trillion in assets under management (AUM), setting an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">all-time high this week</a>. 
This milestone is another clear indicator of the robust health of the investment landscape in the United States, as major stock market indices trade at or near their record levels. 
The S&amp;P 500, for instance, has rallied by 25% year to date, trading at a mere 1% distance from its all-time highs. Tech stocks in the Nasdaq 100 have soared 53% year to date, hitting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/23/12/36305091/nasdaq-100-hits-record-high-set-for-best-annual-performance-since-1999-tech-boom">record high on Tuesday.</a>
But the increase in the ETF market size isn't just about a bullish stock market. Rising assets among U.S. ETFs have also been driven by the influx of fresh capital from investors, as a testament of a broader optimistic sentiment.
Statistics from ETFdb.com shows that the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), the largest ETF globally, saw an impressive $30.8 billion of inflows in December, raising its AUM to $478 billion. Similarly, another ETF tracking the S&amp;P 500, the Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>), witnessed $5.5 billion of inflows this month. The Invesco S&amp;P 500 Equal Weight ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RSP#NYSE">RSP</a>) also saw inflows, amounting to $4 billion.
Investors have shown a keen interest in bond-related ETFs as well. For instance, the iShares 20 Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) has witnessed $3.6 billion of inflows so far this month, underlining the diversity of investor interest in both equity and bond markets, as the Federal Reserve&#8217;s stance shifts. 
Here are the top 10 U.S. ETFs with over $100 billion in assets:

US ETFs Surpass $8 Trillion In Assets: Top 10 Funds Holding Over $100B Each

In recent weeks, several bond exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have experienced a significant surge in inflows, indicating a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-bond-etf">heightened interest among investors. </a>
This shift coincided with a market that significantly upped bets on Federal Reserve rate cuts for 2024, backed by a robust and ongoing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/inflation">disinflationary trend</a> in the U.S. economy. 
Speculators have gone as far as factoring in an initial rate cut as early as March 2024, with whispers of a total of five rate cuts by December 2024.
But which bond ETFs are currently piquing investors&#8217; interest?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From &#8216;Cash-Like&#8217; to &#8216;Equity-Like&#8217;</h2>
While the third quarter in 2023 witnessed a notable uptick in inflows into cash-linked bond ETFs, primarily those investing in short-dated Treasury bonds and bills, the latest trends are veering towards more aggressive fixed-income strategies.
Investors are strategically positioning themselves in anticipation of an imminent U-turn in Fed&#8217;s monetary policy stance, eyeing a select group of bond ETFs that have weathered the storm during the recent spate of interest rate hikes.
Their bullish stance on riskier bond ETFs underscores a burgeoning belief that the bond market landscape could undergo a substantial recalibration in the coming months, as they brace for a more accommodating monetary policy environment.
These ETFs encompass a diverse range, including long-term Treasury bonds, emerging-market bonds, and high-yield corporate bonds.

Investors Pour Billions To Aggressive Bond ETFs, Banking On Multiple Fed Rate Cuts in 2024

Investors have accumulated record amounts of cash and equivalent assets as a way to hedge against the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/10/35150923/why-this-cboe-global-markets-analyst-is-bullish-at-time-of-geopolitical-turmoil">volatility of recent times.</a>
Now, fund managers are urging investors to put that money to work, as decreasing inflation and the potential for an economic slowdown may lead to profitable opportunities in the bond markets.
<a href="https://www.ici.org/research/stats/mmf">According</a> to ICI Global, capital invested into money market fund assets reached a record of $5.73 trillion last week. Money market funds are characterized by having very low volatility and very high liquidity, holding large amounts of cash and other low-risk securities in their portfolios.
Investors tend to lean towards money market investing in times of uncertainty, when availability of cash is a prime concern and tolerance to risk is low. Money market funds give better returns than cash deposits on banks, which is why investors have been flocking towards these assets since the Fed began its tightening cycle last year, which has now taken the federal funds rate to between 5.25% and 5.50%.
But, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/11/35783516/october-inflation-drop-triggers-markets-rally-economists-reassess-after-surprising-">inflation dropping to more comfortable levels</a>, bond managers are suggesting that now is an optimal time to allocate some of those assets into the bond market.
Minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee&#8217;s November meeting revealed that Fed participants view the current interest rate level of between 5.25% and 5.5% as restrictive, potentially signaling the end of their intensive rate hike campaign in light of recent positive inflation data and acknowledging the significant tightening of financial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/23/11/35903926/november-fomc-minutes-fed-leans-toward-rate-stability-as-inflation-eases">conditions in recent months.</a>

Greg Whiteley, head of Government Securities Investing at DoubleLine <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-21/bond-managers-of-2-5-trillion-make-case-for-leaving-cash-behind?srnd=premium&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">told</a> Bloomberg that the range of 4.5% to 5% yield "is a safe place to be buying bonds."
The two-year treasury bond currently yields at 4.89% while the 5- and 10-year bonds have a yield of 4.44%.
Whiteley and other fund managers contend that the Federal Reserve&#8217;s actions are effectively slowing down the economy, a necessary step to reduce inflation back to the 2% target. Economist Gary Shilling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/11/35867664/legendary-economist-foresees-30-drop-in-stocks-predicts-recession-and-feds-credibil">this week predicted that a recession is imminent</a>, potentially including a 30% drop in stock values, which further supports the strategy of redirecting investments towards safer and comparatively higher-yielding assets such as bonds.
Piper Sandler strategist Michael Kantrowitz echoed the same prediction over the weekend, based on several data points coming<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/11/35866823/top-wall-street-strategist-expresses-worries-about-looming-recession-we-are-at-the-"> from housing, profits, and employment.</a> 
The housing market showed a slight uptick last week but<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35836886/housing-market-shows-a-slight-uptick-but-remains-slow-ahead-of-beazer-homes-earnings-call"> continues at historically low levels</a>, with mortgage rates sustaining prices that are unaffordable for the majority of homebuyers.
Other economists, however, lean towards a soft-landing scenario, which would mean a return to pre-pandemic<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/11/35820947/us-economy-gearing-towards-soft-landing-amid-inflation-concerns-says-economists"> inflation levels without a recession</a>.
Bond fund managers argue that sticking to cash "means you miss all the potential price appreciation if the economy starts to slow," as Ryan Murphy of Capital Group told Bloomberg.
The managers also pointed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-are-mortgage-backed-securities">mortgage bonds</a> as a sector that could lift off next year if interest rates come down. Mortgage-backed securities consist of pools of mortgages that lenders bundle together and sell as securities to third parties in order to free up more cash to continue lending.
While these securities gained a bad reputation for their role in the 2008 financial crash, increased regulation has made them appealing again. Although they still carry more risk than cash or government bonds, they're generally considered less risky than corporate bonds, because there&#8217;s real estate as collateral, and they carry less volatility than stocks.
These include Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BND#NASDAQ">BND</a>) and iShares Core US Aggregate Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AGG#NYSE">AGG</a>) for the broad ranging bond market, and iShares MBS ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBB#NASDAQ">MBB</a>) as well as Vanguard Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VMBS#NASDAQ">VMBS</a>) for specific exposure to mortgage-backed securities.

Ready For Recession? Fund Managers Advocate Shift To Treasury, Mortgage Bonds

Market participants are eagerly awaiting for the March personal consumption expenditure (PCE) price index report from the Bureau of Economic Analysis on Friday (April 28),&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket-prep/" target="_blank">before the market opens</a>.&nbsp;
With the next FOMC meeting in less than a week, what is regarded as the Fed&#39;s preferred gauge of inflation will be considered a key signal for assessing&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31957119/the-next-big-short-hedge-funds-place-record-bearish-bets-on-us-10-year-treasuries" target="_blank">market expectations about the Fed&#39;s impending policy moves.</a>
What To Know:&nbsp;The PCE price index grew 5% year on year in February 2023, down from 5.3% in January, and 0.3% month on month, down from 0.6% in January.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>The Core PCE price index, which measures inflation over a wide range of consumer expenditures excluding energy and food and is of particular relevance to the Fed, increased 4.6% annually and 0.3% monthly in February. The annual figure was marginally above expectations (4.5%), while the monthly one matched estimates.&nbsp;</li>
<li>The market consensus&nbsp;is for the March core PCE price index to rise 0.3% month on month and 4.5% year on year.&nbsp;</li>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/23/04/32045033/us-gdp-growth-falls-short-of-expectations-in-q1-markets-react-to-potential-fed-po" target="_blank">The Bureau of Economic Analysis&#39; initial GDP estimate&nbsp;in the first quarter&nbsp;of 2023&nbsp;</a>delivered surprises in terms of both real growth and the price deflator. While real GDP growth was lower than projected (1.1% vs. 2.2%), the price index for gross domestic purchases&nbsp;accelerated&nbsp;in the&nbsp;quarter (3.8% compared to 3.6% prior&nbsp;and a consensus of 3.7%).&nbsp;</li>
<li>The BEA also announced PCE prices grew at a 4.2% quarter-on-quarter annualized rate in the first quarter of&nbsp;2023 after gaining 3.7% in the fourth quarter of&nbsp;2022. The core PCE price index climbed 4.9% in the first quarter of&nbsp;2023 after rising 4.4%. Both figures were higher than market expectations of 0.5% and 3.7%, respectively.</li>
<li>In March, the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) inflation was 5% year-on-year, down from the 6% posted in February and below expectations of 5.2%. Core CPI inflation, instead, ticked up from 5.5% to 5.6% year-on-year.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
The following are predicted to be some of the most volatile ETFs in response to the March PCE figures:
<ul>
<li>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (ARCA: SPY)</li>
<li>Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qqq#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)</li>
<li>SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust&nbsp;(ARCA: DIA)</li>
<li>iShares 20 Plus&nbsp;Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tlt#NASDAQ">TLT</a>)</li>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/vanguard-review/">Vanguard</a> Total Bond Market Index Fund ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bnd#NASDAQ">BND</a>)</li>
<li>SPDR Gold Trust (ARCA: GLD)</li>
<li>Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (ARCA: UUP)</li>
</ul>
Why It Is Important For Markets: March Core PCE inflation will almost certainly remain substantially over the Fed&#39;s 2% inflation target.
Markets will be paying close attention to how far the March Core PCE figure deviates from consensus predictions.&nbsp;
A core PCE print&nbsp;of less than 0.3% monthly or 4.5% annually will likely reinforce current market assumptions that the Fed&#39;s rate hike cycle will come to an end in May. This will be a relief for the markets, even though a lot of the Fed&#39;s expected shift in policy may have already been priced in.
A core PCE reading greater than 0.3% monthly or 4.5% yearly will generate considerably more uncertainty on the rate front, possibly sparking some speculation on another Fed hike&nbsp;in June, and so creating additional headwinds for interest-rate sensitive assets such as tech and growth equities as well as bonds, while likely favoring the U.S. dollar.&nbsp;
Markets have nearly fully priced in a 25-basis-point rate hike in May to 5%-5.25%, however, estimates for the June meeting are more open with a 66% chance that rates would remain unchanged in the aforesaid range and a 24% chance of another hike, according to CME Group Fedwatch tool.&nbsp;

March PCE Price Index Preview: Here's Why Fed's Favorite Inflation Gauge Is A Key Market-Moving Event Before FOMC

A good ETF strategy will depend on your investment goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon. However, here are a few general principles to keep in mind when developing an ETF strategy:
Index-based strategy: This strategy involves investing in ETFs that track a specific index, such as the S&amp;P 500 or the Nasdaq 100. The advantage of this strategy is that it provides broad market exposure with low expense ratios. By investing in index-based ETFs, you can gain exposure to the overall performance of the stock market, without having to select individual stocks. Index-based ETFs are typically designed to provide a diversified portfolio of stocks that represent a particular market or industry sector.
<ul>
<li>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (ARCA: SPY): This ETF tracks the S&amp;P 500 index, which is a benchmark of 500 large-cap US stocks. Year-to-date, the ETF has had a return of around 9% (as of April 2023).</li>
<li>iShares Russell 2000 ETF (ARCA: IWM): This ETF tracks the Russell 2000 index, which is a benchmark of 2,000 small-cap US stocks. Year-to-date, the ETF has had a return of around 11% (as of April 2023).</li>
</ul>
Sector-based strategy: This strategy involves investing in ETFs that track a specific sector, such as technology, healthcare, or energy. This can be a good way to gain targeted exposure to specific industries. Sector-based ETFs allow investors to invest in specific areas of the market that they believe will perform well in the future. This can be a good way to diversify your portfolio and potentially increase your returns. However, sector-based ETFs can be riskier than index-based ETFs because they are concentrated in a specific sector.
<ul>
<li>Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (ARCA: XLK): This ETF tracks the technology sector of the S&amp;P 500 index, which includes companies such as Apple, Microsoft, and Facebook. Year-to-date, the ETF has had a return of around 8% (as of April 2023).</li>
<li>Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund (ARCA: XLV)): This ETF tracks the healthcare sector of the S&amp;P 500 index, which includes companies such as Johnson &amp; Johnson and Pfizer. Year-to-date, the ETF has had a return of around 10% (as of April 2023).</li>
</ul>
Dividend-based strategy: This strategy involves investing in ETFs that focus on high dividend-paying stocks. This can be a good way to generate regular income from your investments. Dividend-based ETFs provide exposure to stocks that have a history of paying high dividends to their shareholders. These stocks are typically well-established, financially stable companies with a long history of consistent dividends. Dividend-based ETFs can provide investors with a source of steady income, which can be particularly useful in retirement.
<ul>
<li>iShares Select Dividend ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dvy#NASDAQ">DVY</a>): This ETF tracks the performance of US stocks that have a history of consistently paying high dividends. Year-to-date, the ETF has had a return of around 12% (as of April 2023).</li>
<li>SPDR S&amp;P Dividend ETF (ARCA: SDY): This ETF tracks the performance of US stocks that have a history of consistently paying dividends. Year-to-date, the ETF has had a return of around 11% (as of April 2023).</li>
</ul>
International strategy: This strategy involves investing in ETFs that provide exposure to international markets, such as emerging markets or developed markets outside of the US. This can be a good way to diversify your portfolio globally. International ETFs allow investors to invest in markets outside of the US. This can provide diversification benefits and potentially higher returns, as foreign markets can sometimes outperform US markets. However, investing in international markets can also expose investors to currency risk and political risk.
<ul>
<li>iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (ARCA: EFA): This ETF tracks the performance of developed market stocks outside of North America, including companies in Europe, Asia, and Australia. Year-to-date, the ETF has had a return of around 8% (as of April 2023).</li>
<li>iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (ARCA: EEM): This ETF tracks the performance of emerging market stocks, including companies in China, India, and Brazil. Year-to-date, the ETF has had a return of around 3% (as of April 2023).</li>
</ul>
Bond-based strategy: This strategy involves investing in ETFs that track a specific bond market, such as US Treasury bonds or corporate bonds. This can be a good way to generate fixed income with low risk. Bond-based ETFs invest in a portfolio of bonds, which provide a fixed rate of return to investors. This can be particularly useful for investors who are looking for a low-risk investment that provides a regular stream of income. Bond-based ETFs can also help to diversify a portfolio, as they are typically less volatile than stocks.
<ul>
<li>iShares Core US Aggregate Bond ETF (ARCA: AGG): This ETF tracks the performance of the US investment-grade bond market. Year-to-date, the ETF has had a return of around 2% (as of April 2023).</li>
<li>Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bnd#NASDAQ">BND</a>): This ETF tracks the performance of the US investment-grade bond market. Year-to-date, the ETF has had a return of around 1% (as of April 2023).</li>

The Labor Department reported the U.S. economy added 236,000 jobs in March, just shy of economist <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31714148/s-p-500-volatility-continues-as-investors-digest-latest-labor-market-data">estimates of 240,000 new jobs</a>.
Rate Path: Traders are currently betting the central bank will hike rates again in May as the U.S. economy is indicating resilience despite the crisis in the banking sector, the report said. The CME FedWatch Tool shows 66% probability of a 25 bps rate hike in the next policy.
The 10-year note yielded 3.37% during Monday morning Asian trade, up from Friday's low of 3.25%. The ProShares Ultra 20+ Year Treasury (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBT#NYSE">UBT</a>) gained over 6.5% in last five days while the Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BND#NASDAQ">BND</a>) rose over 1% during the period.
Expert Take: Goldman Sachs Group analysts, including Praveen Korapaty, wrote in a note that although U.S. yields bounced following the jobs report, they remain below levels from the prior week, leaving room for more upward repricing, according to the Bloomberg report.
"The mix of March data thus far should solidify the case for a hike at the upcoming May FOMC meeting," they wrote.
ANZ Research said in a note that the Fed's update to its inflation forecast in March looks underdone. "The Fed has consistently underestimated inflation in recent times. There is no reason to think it hasn't done so again, especially if financial conditions settle down quickly following the collapse of a few U.S. banks," it said.

Net Bearish Bets Against US Treasuries Rose To 1-Year Highs: Fed Rate Hike On Cards?

Pimco Multi-Asset Strategies Portfolio Manager Erin Browne reportedly said that rates and equities are singing from different hymn books currently. 
What Happened: Browne said that while the former is pricing-in accelerated rate cuts during second half of this year and into 2024, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31672113/tesla-c3-ai-johnson-amp-johnson-cardlytics-bullfrog-ai-holdings-why-these-5-stocks-are-drawing-inves">equities are priced for rich valuations.</a> Browne <a href="https://twitter.com/BloombergTV/status/1643253247459598339?cxt=HHwWhoCxremHgc4tAAAA">told</a> Bloomberg TV this indicates the rates market is starting to price-in the economy and is heading towards a recession.

"Equities, however, still are priced for very rich valuations, continued growth and expansion this year and even more so in 2024, and are really not focused on the fact that we are heading into a recession. So, I don&#8217;t think both markets can be right at the same time. Either we are not heading into a recession and rates need to reprice higher or we are and equities are really primed for too much growth and are going to have to re-rate lower," Browne explained.
Why It Matters: U.S. equity markets have registered gains since the beginning of the year while treasury yields have cooled down. 
For example, the S&amp;P 500 has gained over 7% since the beginning of the year. Meanwhile, yield on two-year Treasury notes have cooled about 50 basis points in the same period.
If yields are coming off, it indicates the market's expects <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/23/04/31672653/federal-reserves-loretta-mester-expects-likelihood-of-more-rate-hikes-heres-why">the Federal Reserve may</a> cut interest rates at some point in time during the year — a scenario that factors-in the possibility of a recession. In contrast, the equity markets reflect higher valuations, indicating recession possibilities are not being factored-in.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) gained 7.31% in 2023 while the Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BND#NASDAQ">BND</a>) gained 2.82%.
Banking Woes: Browne said she doesn't think the banking woes may be over yet. 
"I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s in a rear view mirror. Certainly the immediacy of the sort of heightened period of fear is behind us. But I do think we&#8217;re going to have more drips of this as we move through the rest of this year," she said.

Pimco's Erin Browne Says Rates, Equities 'Singing From Different Hymn Books' — Thinks Both Can't Be Right

As The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, known as OPEC+, announced a reduction in oil production by 1.16 million barrels per day beginning May, the impact was visible not just in oil prices but other assets too, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31625115/tesla-meta-wwe-mcdonalds-ford-why-these-5-stocks-are-drawing-investors-attention-today">when trading commenced in Asia on Monday.</a>
What Happened: The decision certainly comes as a new headache <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/03/31607473/feds-preferred-inflation-measure-comes-in-cooler-than-expected-as-banking-crisis-complicates-powells">for the Federal Reserve</a>, which appeared to be facing a tough time over the last few weeks, fighting inflation and trying to contain the banking crisis at the same time. 
With oil prices rising, the central bank will now have to figure out how much of an impact will this have on the future path of inflation.

As the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures expiring in May and Brent futures expiring in June <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31625206/oil-prices-surge-over-5-in-asia-trade-following-surprise-opec-production-cut-these-etfs-could-draw-i">soared over 5% during Monday morning Asian trade</a>, U.S. Treasury notes, the dollar and index futures began reflecting the impact of the surprise move by the organization. 
Here's a look at how some of these assets commenced the week:
1. Dollar: The dollar traded higher as inflation concerns once again took precedence following the OPEC+ move. Investors and traders are weighing in the possibility that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/23/03/31611929/five-economists-react-to-core-pce-numbers-what-will-the-fed-do-next">Federal Reserve may need to hike</a> interest rates at its next meeting. The dollar index, which measures the strength of the greenback against a basket of six currencies, was last trading at 0.48% higher, at 102.99, having breached the 103 level earlier during the day. It will be worth watching how the Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>) performs in the coming days.
2. Treasury Yields: Yield on treasuries also climbed following expectations of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/03/31533829/banking-system-is-sound-say-officials-in-the-face-of-a-flurry-of-questions-from-senate-banking-commi">rate hike by the Federal Reserve.</a> The two-year treasury yield, which usually moves in line with interest rate expectations, rose 5 basis points to 4.11% at the time of writing. The yield on 10-year treasury notes was up 2.9 basis points at 3.519%. The Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BND#NASDAQ">BND</a>) had closed 0.52% higher on Friday.
3. Index Futures: U.S. index futures, too, took a hit following the news. The Nasdaq 100 futures were trading 0.64% lower while the S&amp;P 500 futures lost 0.32% in morning trade. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and the Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) are expected to witness volatility this week following last week's positive momentum.

OPEC+ Decision On Oil Production Cuts Just Roiled These Already Volatile Assets: What's Going On?

Morgan Stanley&nbsp;Chief U.S. Equity Strategist and&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/23/02/30992889/market-rally-or-speculative-frenzy-why-morgan-stanley-says-payback-is-coming-s-p-500-could-crash-to" rel="noreferrer noopener">CIO&nbsp;Mike Wilson&nbsp;reportedly said</a>&nbsp;the bond market is effectively pricing some sort of a recession at this point, while the equity market is still in denial.
"When the yield curve goes negative, it has high predictability that a recession will be coming within twelve months. But 12 months is a long time. The real trouble starts when the yield curve re-steepens. Because that&#8217;s essentially the bond market saying the Fed&#8217;s going to have to be cutting here at some point," Wilson&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/BloombergTV/status/1637913140854759428" rel="noreferrer noopener">told</a>&nbsp;Bloomberg TV.

Price Action:&nbsp;Yield on two-year treasury notes fell from over 5% levels seen in early March to as low as 3.8% last week in the backdrop of the banking crisis in the U.S. as the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/03/31383630/regulator-knew-days-before-svb-collapse-that-620-billion-in-losses-lurked-in-financial-system" rel="noreferrer noopener">shuttering down of the&nbsp;Silicon Valley Bank</a>&nbsp;led investors to rush into the safety of short-term treasuries. The yield on the notes has risen back to 3.96% at the time of writing.
"The yield curve has bull steepened by 60 bps in a matter of days, something seen only a few times in history and usually the bond market's way of saying recession risk is now more elevated," Morgan Stanley analysts led by Wilson wrote in a note.
Markets witnessed significant bouts of volatility over the last two weeks following the unfolding of the crisis which many feared would end up in contagion. However, following&nbsp;UBS Group AG's&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBS#NYSE">UBS</a>) rescue deal announcement of&nbsp;Credit Suisse Group AG&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CS#NYSE">CS</a>), as well as the coordinated action by central banks around the world to boost liquidity, major Wall Street indices witnessed some bit of relief.
The&nbsp;SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) closed 0.96% higher and the&nbsp;Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) gained 0.35%. The&nbsp;Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund ETF&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BND#NASDAQ">BND</a>) closed 0.43% lower.

Morgan Stanley Strategist Says Bond Market Pricing Some Sort Of Recession But Equity Market Still In Denial

Market forecaster Jim Bianco, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/02/31021656/market-forecaster-jim-bianco-calls-fomc-minutes-hyped-for-stock-market-cash-is-no-l">president and Macro Strategist at Bianco Research</a>, pointed out that the S&amp;P 500's movement over the last week has shown a lot of reversals.
What Happened: Bianco's comments came in the backdrop of a positive day for the markets. On Thursday, major Wall Street indices closed in the green. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) closed 0.78% while the Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) gained 0.83%.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/best-penny-stocks">Best Penny Stocks</a>
"The S&amp;P has reversed nine times in the last seven trading days. Today&#8217;s rally is less than 50% of the previous two days," Bianco tweeted, adding that investors should not over-read into the intra-day moves too much.
"The real question is how long until the 10th reversal?" Bianco said.
The S&amp;P 500 has moved in the range between 4,018 and 3,928 over the last seven trading sessions. Bianco cited a tweet by an analyst that questioned the positive move of the index on a day when treasury yields were shooting higher.
The 10-year Treasury yield breached the 4% mark this week for the first time since November, led by fears of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/03/31186693/thinking-of-buying-a-house-30-year-mortgage-rates-rise-over-7-again">persistent rate hikes and lingering inflation</a>. The iShares 20 Plus Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) closed 0.89% lower on Thursday while the Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BND#NASDAQ">BND</a>) lost 0.21%.
Why It Matters: What needs to be seen is whether the small gain made on Thursday is another dead cat bounce or will the market find a support at a time when <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/03/31186251/el-erian-says-fed-risks-tipping-economy-into-recession-every-time-it-falls-behind">Federal Reserve officials</a> are continuing to sound hawkish ahead of the central bank's policy meet this month. Rising treasury yields, in current times, have not been too positive for the market.
Options expiring on March 10 indicate the S&amp;P 500 index is seeing a strong resistance at the 4,000 level as is indicated by the open interest build-up on the out-of-the-money Call strikes. The index is has a strong support at the 3,950 level, options data show. S&amp;P 500 closed at 3,981.35 on Thursday.
