BND And AGG: The Best Is Behind Them (Rating Downgrade)

In December 2023, I rated BND and AGG as Strong Buys due to economic slowdown and anticipated Fed rate cuts; both ETFs delivered decent returns. I now downgrade BND and AGG to Hold, as the market overreacted to economic data, pricing in more rate cuts than likely. Despite being slightly overpriced, BND and AGG still offer attractive yields (4.16% and 4.22%) for income-focused investors, with minimal downside risk.
