The ECB cut rates by 25bp as widely anticipated, but a slightly hawkish tilt bear flattened the EUR curve, which in our view remains priced aggressively. In the US, as the markets head towards the Fed's first rate cut, the probability of a larger cut rose slightly on Thursday.

The latest inflation data signals confirmed bets that the Fed will cut rates next week, pushing Treasury ETFs to new highs.

In this article, I go through a typical day and note 20 stocks whose revenue I contribute to, and would find it difficult not to. One motivation was to see how much of my budget at attention go into Magnificent 7 stocks, and whether that is in proportion to market cap. This list could be used to create a portfolio of 20 "counter-consumption" stocks with the goal of generating dividends to fund daily consumption.

U.S. bonds rallied Wednesday, after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell expressed growing confidence the Fed could start lowering interest rates as soon as its next policy meeting.

U.S. Treasury bonds remain secure and reliable investments despite recent performance. Shares U.S. Treasury Bond ETF (GOVT) provides low-cost access to the US Treasury bond market. GOVT offers exposure to the entire US Treasury yield curve with minimal credit risk and a 30-Day SEC yield of 4.6%.

GOVT: Not A Bad Time To Consider This Treasuries ETF

It generally takes a few years for changes in Federal Reserve rates to fully impact bond fund dividends. Bond funds are still benefitting from prior rate hikes. Perhaps by enough to cancel out any future rate cuts. By my estimations, and under current Fed guidance, most bond funds would only start to see declining dividends in 2025, at the earliest.

Estimating The Impact Of Lower Rates On Bond Fund Dividends

The iShares U.S. Treasury Bond ETF is a high duration ETF sensitive to speculated rates and Fed policies. Powell's remarks suggest rate cuts may not come as soon as expected, but failure of soft landing hopes could bring down longer-term rates which would actually be good for GOVT. Prices of longer duration bonds have gone up due to lower than expected debt issuance and potential for rate cuts but only in response to a higher probability of recession.

Chaim Siegel Is Bullish For 2024

Treasury Bonds have rallied in recent weeks but remain on a broader downtrend. In contrast with relatively resilient economic data, far too many rate cuts have been priced into the curve at this point. With fundamental issues around the deficit and debt issuance path still unaddressed, the risk/reward still seems unfavorable for low-cost Treasury Bond ETFs.

Sentiment is quite negative for Treasuries, with the US debt ceiling dominating headlines. In the past, buying US bonds amidst such fear has proven to be a good short-term trade. Monetary policy tightening measures are hitting the economy now, and commodities prices have eased in the last year. Both provide a bias for further near-term softer CPI prints.
