It's the question that has beguiled markets throughout 2023 – when will the rate hikes end? After another pause from the Fed for November, it seemed like the agency may have been satisfied.

Rate Hikes Over? Perhaps Not: Eye USFR

The Federal Reserve has paused its rate hikes, indicating that short-term interest rates may have peaked.

With 10-year Treasury yields dangerously flirting with 5% and as some longer-dated Treasury exchange traded funds tumble to multiyear lows, it's understandable that fixed income investors are seeking shelter from the ongoing bond market storm.

Palpable Enthusiasm for Floating Rate Notes ETFs

The US equity market is overvalued based on historical norms in S&P 500 dividend yields and the S&P/Bond ratio. With consumer price inflation still high, there is plenty of justification for the central banks to keep rates high. At current levels, US debt holders are getting their best real yield in 15 years.

Owning treasury bills and floating rate treasury bond funds can provide attractive risk-free yields in uncertain economic times. The recent "hawkish pause" by the Federal Reserve has positive implications for SGOV and USFR. Fed Officials are forecasting 5%+ yields until the end of 2024. If they do end up cutting interest rates, that will be because the economy weakens. In that case, SGOV and USFR give investors a 'real option' to buy cheap assets.
