Stocks and bonds look attractive because inflation is controlled and rates aren’t going higher

Fears about rising bond yields are way overblown. This has turned investor sentiment quite dark — and created a textbook contrarian buy signal.

2. Bonds are down because of renewed concerns about Fed tightening: We know this because of how bonds react to economic data.

The data had investors worried that interest rates will stay higher for longer. Conversely, bonds were strong on October 4 in part on news that Automatic Data Processing ADP, +1.48% reported weak employment data.

3. This is the market’s “spooky season,” but it always comes to an end: The U.S. stock market normally hits annual lows in October. This is partly because institutional investor tax-loss selling has to finish by month-end. But it also has to do with the weather. People traditionally go into harvest and caution mode ahead of the cold season.

5. 10-year bond yields are not that high, historically speaking: The 10-year Treasury bond yield has moved back to the 4%-5% that prevailed from 2003 to 2007, which was a good time to own stocks. For example, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust SPY rose about 80% in that period. Indeed, rising rates have not hurt the U>S. economy this time around. “This raises the possibility that the economy can live with the bond yield back to its old normal level,” Yardeni says.
