71: Bullish on Bonds!?
Episode 71

Are you interested in working with me 1 on 1? Click this link to fill out our Retirement Readiness QuestionnaireOr, visit my websiteThe Federal Reserve elected to hold steady on rate cuts for now. The market did react positively to this news, but ultimately volatility has ensued since then in response to tariff concerns and their impact on inflation. So naturally, we are fielding more and more questions about the markets and the impact on their retirement portfolio. As a result, I wanted to dig into past economic cycles where interest rates had peaked (like they did in 2024) and ultimately rate cuts began (like in September of 2024). I looked at the results for the S&P 500 returns vs. the Bond Index returns for each cycle from when rate cuts began to when they bottomed out, and there were 5 of them since 1980 (Hyperinflation).I think you’ll be interested in the results! Of course, this is in no way solicitation to buy or sell ANY securities, as this is for general education only.
