Riding the Rate Cut Wave

The mere mention of interest rate cuts by Jay Powell has ignited a frenzy in the bond market, sending bond proxies soaring. Though the Fed chair remains cryptic about the timing of the first cut, futures traders are betting on a series of reductions by year-end. Amidst this speculation, bargain “bond proxies” continue to beckon astute investors.

Exploring Utility Stocks as Hidden Treasures

One such treasure trove lies in utility stocks, known to move inversely to bond yields. While many utilities have already surged as Treasury rates dipped from their recent high, a handful of “delayed reaction” opportunities remain untapped.

Diving into Dominion Energy’s Story
