Treasury bills are attractive to value investors due to good returns and lower interest in main companies in indices. SGOV ETF offers over 5% yield, tactical stock market exposure possibility, and low volatility. Stock indices are structurally important, but caution could be used due to high valuations and potential corrections.
The significant decline in April and May services inflation and revolving consumer credit growth indicate demand-driven disinflationary patterns. The labor market appears to be facing a typical recessionary trend: a lower number of full-time workers (without second jobs) compared to the total working-age population. Job growth may be strong, but that is primarily driven by a rising need for part-time jobs to offset lower real disposable household income.
SGOV, an ETF focused on 0-3 month Treasury bonds, remains an attractive option for income investors in a higher-for-longer rate environment.
