Bank of America says investors should still look to stocks for value rather than bonds.

, at 1.5%, for the first time since 2016. According to Bank of America, stocks have significantly outperformed bonds 94% of the time that this has happened historically.

And, with the S&P 500 trading just 2% higher over the last six months, investors may be tempted to stick to that strategy.

But Bank of America's finding points out that, even without the price changing, investors should much more heavily favor stocks for the dividend yield.
