U.S. equity markets climbed to record highs, while benchmark interest rates dipped to four-month lows as investors rotated from high-flying growth stocks into beaten-down value names following a cooler-than-expected CPI report. Headline CPI declined 0.1% month-over-month, which dragged the annual increase to below 3% for the first time since March 2021, while CPI ex-Shelter is again below the Fed's 2% target. Combined with recent softness in employment data and relatively dovish Fed commentary, markets now see at least two Fed rate cuts this year, with September now viewed as a near-lock.

Some high yield preferreds offer stable double-digit yields and potential for capital gains, trading at discounts to par value. Preferreds are paid through dividends, liquidation preference, and redemption, but sit below debt in the capital stack, making them riskier than bonds. Risks include lack of equity cushion, business volatility, and bad actor risk, highlighting the importance of thorough research and caution when investing in preferreds.
