Here's Another Group of Stocks Getting Hammered by Soaring Yields

Rising bond yields are severely impacting bank stocks, with the KBW Nasdaq Bank index down 9.7% over the past month.

An S&P 500 Index Fund Already Owns These Financial Stocks. Here's Whether to Own More.

Financial stocks in the S&P 500 have underperformed over the past year, remaining flat year-to-date and up only 1% over 12 months.

The Federal Reserve Just Raised Interest Rates for the First Time Since 2023. Here's What History Says Happens in the Stock Market Next.

The Federal Reserve, under Chairman Kevin Warsh, raised the federal funds rate by a quarter point in response to persistent inflation. Historically, rate-hiking cycles have triggered an average 14% drawdown in the S&P 500 within 12 months, though stocks typically recover within a year with an average 6% return. The impact will be most severe on growth stocks and debt-dependent companies, but unless underlying earnings falter, the bull market should eventually resume.

The article emphasizes that investors should remain fully invested during bear markets despite their severity (averaging 35% declines over 289 days).
