10-Year Yield hits 5%, stock market panics
@Lionel8383：
US 10 Year Yield hits 5.0%, a level not seen since mid 2007. This likely cements the fate of existing bond-hodlers, which have seen 3 years of declines. How high will the US 10 year yield go, nobody knows, this likely markets the near bottom for bonds, and likewise bond ETFs like the iShares 20 Year+ Treasury ETF (Ticker symbol TLT). TLT at a 5-year low Current div yield on TLT (trailing twelve months) stands at 3.98%, although one has to factor the 30% withholding tax for non-US treaty nationals. Probably one of the simpler ways to get involved in the bond market. Other alternatives are to buy bonds from a broker that has access to U.S. treasury bonds. However do note that for U.S. Treasury Bonds longer than 1 year duration have 30% dividend/interest tax, so the yield you are getting will be less 30%, eg 5% yield minus 30% tax implies an effective yield of 3.5%. Alternatively, one can consider buying US Treasury bills (less than 1 year) and still get around 5%, which do not have dividend tax. @TigerStars $iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF(TLT)$ $S&P 500(.SPX)$ $Invesco QQQ Trust-ETF(QQQ)$
