Speculators have gone as far as factoring in an initial rate cut as early as March 2024, with whispers of a total of five rate cuts by December 2024. But which bond ETFs are currently piquing investors’ interest? From ‘Cash-Like’ to ‘Equity-Like’ While the third quarter in 2023 witnessed a notable uptick in inflows into cash-linked bond ETFs, primarily those investing in short-dated Treasury ...Full story available on Benzinga.com
