Play Dirt-Cheap Dividend ETFs to Fight More Fed Rate Hikes
The year 2022 as a whole could easily be attributed to the Russia-Ukraine war, red-hot inflation and rising-rate worries. No wonder, such worries caused an upheaval in the market this year. Wall Street witnessed the worst first half in 50 years. The downfall is showing no clear signs of abating. Heightened rising rate worries amid super-hawkish cues from the Fed have bummed out Wall Street this year.
Federal Reserve officials agreed last month that interest rates may need to keep rising for longer to ward off higher inflation. Preventing inflation is the Fed's first priority as the Fed won't shift from its tighter policies even if that slowed the U.S. economy.
Officials hiked rates by 75 basis points in June, the most since 1994, lifting their benchmark to a target range of 1.5% to 1.75%. Policy makers supported raising rates at their next meeting in July by either 50 or 75 basis point, according to minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee's June 14-15 policy meeting released on Jul 6.
Hence, one can expect further rise in rates. As of Jul 6, 2022, the U.S. benchmark treasury yield was 2.93%. Against this backdrop, dividend ETFs can act as a great safety. Be it a bull or a bear market, investors mostly love dividend-paying stocks. After all, who doesn't like a steady stream of current income along with capital appreciation?
Even if the stock or the fund falls, higher current income would go a long way in protecting investors' total returns. After all, dividend ETFs provide investors with avenues to make up for capital losses, if that happens at all.
Below we highlight a few dividend ETFs that have a lower P/E ratio than the S&P 500 (21.70X).
