Gold is a buy, but bonds may be a bust

In Monday's installment of Good Buy or Goodbye, Sound Planning Group CEO David Stryzewski joins Yahoo Finance anchor Josh Lipton to discuss why he recommends buying gold (GC=F) while avoiding bonds. Stryzewski endorses gold as an asset class to buy, pointing out that it has broken above all-time highs and sustained the position. Stryzewski claims $2,100 is the "new foundation," adding, "it's just up from here." He also notes that prices have been climbing because central banks are actively purchasing gold on "an annualized basis," citing China as an example, which he says has acquired "thousands of tons of it." The only potential risk he identifies is the US dollar given the inverse correlation between its pricing and gold's. On the other hand, Stryzewski recommends steering clear of the iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG). He explains that the Federal Reserve's outlook on rate cuts remains uncertain, and with bonds exhibiting "a seesaw effect" in response to interest rate movements, the value of bonds could take a hit. He also notes that treasury yields are "safer" than the yields on bonds, which is how investors receive returns.

Get out of cash, increase bond exposure: BlackRock exec.

Investors are always looking for new and safe investments during times of uncertainty. As the debate for when the Federal Reserve will finally cut interest rates rages on, many on Wall Street are looking at ETFs and bonds given their higher rates and low risk. Steve Laipply, BlackRock Global Co-Head of Bond ETFs, joins Yahoo Finance to discuss the some of the best opportunities in the bond market for 2024 and what investors need to keep their eyes on. When asked about Certificates of Deposit and whether or not investors should stick with them, Laipply offers this insight: "The Fed at some point, if you do believe what the market consensus is in the way the future are pricing they will start cutting rates this year... But it does look to be they'll start cutting rates, so it is a good time to lock in these yields now. You can debate whether them cutting rates will drive all yields down or not. But yields at 4% long term are still very very attractive relative to where we were before. There are a lot of ways to do that, you can allocate to the broad market through something like the Agg (iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF, AGG) or the Universal IUSB (IUSB) or if you do want a more active approach you can allocate something like BINC (BINC) our flexible income fund or BlackRock Total Return (BRTR). What we do know is investors have been cautious during this tightening cycle. They're pretty much significantly under allocated fixed income so we think it's time for them to start moving out of cash."

Why fixed income is looking 'rather attractive' given potential recession risks

The fixed income sector could contain growth value ahead of the Fed's anticipated balance sheet roll-offs and a potential recession. PIMCO Managing Director and Portfolio Manager Sonali Pier believes equities would "bear the brunt" of any recessionary headwinds and encourages a pivot to fixed income in case of a disappointing earnings season.
