Fed will cut rates in November to 'save face': SEI CIO

The Federal Reserve's November meeting is approaching quickly, and investors are closely watching for potential rate cuts. But in today's economic climate, is a rate reduction truly beneficial for markets and the broader economy? SEI chief investment officer Jim Smigiel joins Market Domination to share his insights. "The facts on the ground are we have a relatively robust economy, we have a fairly strong consumer base, strong corporate base, and we have the Fed adding stimulus," Smigiel explains to Yahoo Finance. He points out that the market is grappling with the implications of Fed cuts during strong economic conditions, raising the question: "What are some of the ramifications of that?" particularly regarding yields. Regarding future rate adjustments, Smigiel suggests the Federal Reserve will likely implement a rate cut in November primarily to "save face." He characterizes the Fed's initial 50-basis-point cut as "a bit of a surprise" and potentially even a "policy error." Looking ahead to December, Smigiel sees another rate cut as "in question," though if the Fed does cut, he expects a more modest 25 basis point reduction.

2 'tactical' portfolio shifts to consider ahead of the election

Kurt Reiman, UBS Global Wealth Management ElectionWatch co-lead, joins Catalysts to discuss how investors can best prepare for the election. Reiman expects heightened volatility around the election, and adds, "Some of the financial market outcomes that we're seeing are perfectly reasonable within the context of this elevated volatility that we're seeing." However, he notes that this will likely be a contested election: "We have a very narrowly divided country. The polls are telling us this. The prediction markets are not. And that's kind of an interesting sort of dichotomy with what's happening." It could take weeks to receive an official outcome, so Reiman encourages investors to avoid making large, strategic portfolio shifts during this time. Yet, there are investments that he says could be "helpful" over the next year. He points to gold (GC=F) as an example, arguing that it is not only a good asset to hold amid volatility but also when central banks are shifting their reserves. He also highlights the utilities sector (XLU), noting that it is a beneficiary of increased AI demand and is a "more stable dividend player." "The point is that making some tactical shifts in the portfolio to add a little bit of robustness to it going into what may be a contested election is not a bad idea. But what I would not recommend is large portfolio shifts because of concerns about the risk of a contested election," Reiman tells Yahoo Finance.

Why it's a 'great time' to enter the bond market

Interested in navigating the bond market? F/m Investments senior portfolio manager and US Benchmark Series Co-Founder Pete Baden joins Wealth to share his insights on bond investing strategies. Amid uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's rate-cutting timeline, Baden notes there are "echoes of higher for longer." However, with rate cuts still on the horizon, he suggests this is "a great time" to enter the bond market, calling it "a second opportunity" to secure yields and lock them into portfolios to "generate income that will support you going for years forward." When it comes to different bond types, Baden explains that US Treasury Bonds are "considered safe" and provide refuge during wars and recessions. As for corporate bonds, these investment-grade securities track companies' ability to make interest payments. They typically perform well during economic strength, but Baden cautions, "You don't necessarily want to be in high-yield bonds if you think the economy's not going to do well because those companies are usually the first ones to really show the pressure of a declining economy."
