Investors shift to bonds amid stock market turmoil, anticipating Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.
Investors are turning to bonds due to stock market turmoil, anticipation of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, and the perception that equities are overpriced. This shift follows months of heightened interest as investors aim to lock in high yields before expected rate reductions. Bonds, essentially loans made by investors to corporations or governments, offer fixed, predictable returns and are considered a relatively safe investment option amid a possible recession. The likelihood of a September interest rate cut at the Federal Reserve has also added urgency to the bond market.
