Investors were net purchasers of fund assets (including those of conventional funds and ETFs) for the third week in a row, injecting a net $14.2 billion for the LSEG Lipper fund-flows week ended Wednesday, November 8. A weaker-than-expected October jobs report, a drop in oil prices and inflation expectations, and rising hopes that the Fed is done hiking interest rates pushed equities to their longest daily winning streak in two years and the 10-year Treasury yield dropped to its lowest level since September. The Dow locked in its longest winning streak since late July, rising for the sixth consecutive trading session, on Monday, November 6.

The unpredictability of interest rates makes it risky to own fixed income investments that need falling rates to deliver a good total return. AGG dividends correlate well with a trailing 24-month average of the 10-year Treasury yield. Distributions are expected to increase as older low-coupon debt matures out of the portfolio.

Confidence is returning to the bond markets and one sign is corporations' willingness to start taking on debt again with new issuance. While inflation is still high, the expectation is that the Federal Reserve will eventually lessen the pace of interest rate hikes.

Rising rates have taken their toll on bond prices this year, pushing yields ever higher. As the Fed rate hiking cycle eases in the latter part of the year, bonds look increasingly attractive.

Buying Back Into Bonds? BNDI Offers Better Returns

Long-duration bonds are great winners after the Fed's pause, based on historical evidence from the latest cycles. The outcome is different for soft or hard lending; however, both narratives tend to be bullish for bonds in the very first months after a Fed pause or cycle end.
