The Mecklenburg Times September 27, 2022

ATTOM has released its second-quarter 2022 U.S. Home Equity & Underwater Report, which shows that 48.1 percent of mortgaged residential properties in the United States were considered equity-rich in the second quarter, meaning that the combined estimated amount of loan balances secured by those properties was no more than 50 percent of their estimated market values.

The portion of mortgaged homes that were equity-rich in the second quarter of 2022 increased from 44.9 percent in the first quarter of 2022 and from 34.4 percent in the second quarter of 2021. The latest increase, to virtually half of all mortgage payers, marked the ninth straight quarterly rise in the portion of homes in equity-rich territory. The report found that at least

half of all mortgage-payers in 18 states were equity-rich in the second quarter, compared to only three states a year earlier.

The report also shows that just 2.9 percent of mortgaged homes, or one in 34, were considered seriously underwater in the second quarter of 2022, with a combined estimated balance of loans secured by the property of at least 25 percent more than the property’s estimated market value. That was down from 3.2 percent of all U.S. homes with a mortgage in the prior quarter and 4.1 percent, or one 24 properties, a year earlier.

“After 124 consecutive months of home price increases, it’s no surprise that the percentage of equity rich homes is the highest we’ve ever seen, and that

the percentage of seriously underwater loans is the lowest,” said Rick Sharga, executive vice president of market intelligence at ATTOM. “While home price appreciation appears to be slowing down due to higher interest rates on mortgage loans, it seems likely that homeowners will continue to build on the record amount of equity they have for the rest of 2022.”

Across the country, 49 states saw equity-rich levels increase from the first quarter of 2022 to the second quarter of 2022, while seriously underwater percentages dipped in 46 states. Year over year, equity-rich levels rose in all 50 states and seriously underwater portions dropped in 46 states.

The equity scenario continued improving in

the second quarter for homeowners around the U.S., mainly because home values kept soaring. After a flat first quarter, the median singlefamily home price shot up another 9 percent quarterly and 15 percent annually during the Spring of this year to a new high of $346,000. For owners keeping up with mortgage payments – and even many that weren’tthat meant a widening gap between what they owed and what their homes were worth, boosting more home values into equity-rich status.

In addition, down payments for recent buyers have grown from about 5 percent to 7 percent over the past couple of years, resulting in new owners starting off with more equity.

Nearly half of U.S. companies plan to add staff in the second half of 2022

The job market will remain strong for the latter part of 2022, research from talent solutions and business consulting firm Robert Half shows. According to the company’s State of U.S. Hiring Survey of more than 1,500 managers, 46% of respondents anticipate adding new permanent positions during the second half of the year; another 46% expect to fill vacated positions and only 8% foresee hiring freezes or layoffs.

Increased demand for contract and early-career talent

Forty-five percent of managers across practice areas plan to bring in more contract professionals by year-end — especially in

technology (60%) and finance and accounting (54%). In addition, 72% of employers intend to hire more entrylevel or early-career professionals.

“Despite talk of an economic slowdown, many companies remain in hiring mode — and professionals with indemand skills continue to have options,” said Robert Half senior executive director Paul McDonald. “In addition to staffing critical functions, employers are increasingly turning to contract talent to stay nimble while keeping projects moving forward and productivity high.”

Top Hiring Challenges and Strategies

According to the research, 88% of managers said it’s

challenging to find skilled professionals, primarily due to a lack of qualified talent (38%) and candidates’ salary expectations being higher than what their company is willing to offer (22%).

In turn, employers who have the resources are using a range of recruiting tactics to win over skilled workers:

• 46% are increasing starting salaries.

• 34% are providing signing bonuses.

• 33% are offering remote options

• 31% are evaluating candidates outside of their company’s geography and allowing new hires to live anywhere.

• 28% are loosening education, skills or experience requirements.

Employers Brace for More Quits

More than half of managers (51%) reported an increase in voluntary turnover within their department in the last year. And nearly 8 in 10 (78%) are concerned about more employees quitting. Those in marketing and creative (84%) and finance and accounting (79%) are most likely to worry about resignations from their team.

McDonald noted, “As long as the job market favors workers, staff retention will continue to be a big concern for businesses. Doubling down on employee wellbeing, empowerment and development initiatives can go a long way toward building staff satisfaction and loyalty as the market fluctuates.”

Construction workforce shortages risk undermining infrastructure projects as most contractors struggle to fill open positions

Construction workforce shortages are affecting nearly all construction firms, undermining the industry’s ability to complete projects on time and on schedule and threatening the success of new federal investments in infrastructure and manufacturing, according to the results of a workforce survey conducted by the Associated General Contractors of America and Autodesk. The results underscore how public officials have a vested interest in investing in new construction-focused workforce development programs, association officials said.

“Construction workforce shortages are severe and having a significant impact on construction firms of all types, all sizes and all labor arrangements,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “These workforce shortages are compounding the challenges firms are having with supply chain disruptions that are inflating the cost of construction materials and making delivery schedules and product availability uncertain.”

Simonson noted that 93 percent of construction firms report they have open positions they are trying to fill. Among those firms, 91 percent are having trouble filling at least some of those positions – particularly among the craft workforce that performs the bulk of onsite construction work.

All types of firms are experiencing similar challenges. Nearly identical results were reported by contractors that use exclusively union craft labor and by firms that operate as open-shop employers; by firms with $50 million or less in annual revenue and ones with more than $500 million in revenue; by companies in all four regions of the country; and by contractors doing building construction, highway and transportation projects, federal and heavy work, or utility infrastructure.

One of the main reasons labor shortages

are so severe, Simonson added, is that most job candidates are not qualified to work in the industry. The most common explanation for difficulty in hiring, cited by 77 percent of firms, is that available candidates lack the skills needed to work in construction or cannot pass a drug test.

Labor shortages are exacerbating the impacts of the widespread supply chain disruptions that have made it difficult for firms to get materials delivered on time and that are driving up the cost of those materials. Eighty-two percent of firms report projects they work on have been delayed because of supply chain challenges and two-thirds (66 percent) have projects that have been delayed because of labor shortages.

Supply chain problems and labor shortages are making construction more expensive. Eighty-six percent of firms have raised base pay rates for their workers while 70 percent have passed along rising materials costs to project owners during the past year.

Cost and supply chain challenges have prompted some owners to cancel or delay projects. Fifty-eight percent of respondents report owners canceled, postponed or scaled back projects due to increasing costs, while one-third of firms report projects were impacted due to lengthening or uncertain completion times.

Many construction firms report they are taking steps to overcome workforce shortages. In addition to the fact most firms have raised pay rates, 45 percent are providing incentives and bonuses and a quarter of firms (24 percent) have also improved their benefits packages.

Construction firms are also getting more involved in preparing future workers for careers in construction. Fiftyone percent of survey respondents—up from 37 percent in the 2021 survey— report they have engaged with careerbuilding programs such as high school,

collegiate, or technical school construction programs.

Simonson added that construction firms are also boosting investments in training programs. Forty-seven percent of firms are increasing spending on training and professional development programs, 25 percent are enhancing their on-line and video training capabilities and 16 percent are using augmented and virtual reality technology to better train workers.

Technology is also playing an important role in helping firms cope with labor shortages and other challenges. Eighty-seven percent of firms agree that their employees need to possess digital technology skills to be successful as firms adopt new technologies. And while few candidates possess key construction skills, nearly two-thirds of responding firms say at least half of the people they are hiring possess the technology skills they need.

“While the majority of construction firms today are struggling to find skilled workers to fill open jobs, the labor shortage is only going to intensify as more workers retire,” said Allison Scott, director of customer experience & industry advocacy at Autodesk. “What’s inspiring is that construction firms recognize this and are taking a proactive approach to preparing future workers for careers in construction. The renewed investments in career development and training programs, as well as a focus on digital skills demonstrates that the industry is committed to taking action to build the next generation of the workforce.”

Association officials said that public leaders have a vested interest in making sure new workers are better prepared for high-paying construction careers. Without enough workers to keep pace with demand, the federal government’s new infrastructure funding and more recent investments in semiconductor factories and energy infrastructure

projects will not deliver as much as promised, Simonson warned.

The national association is calling on federal, state and local leaders to invest in career and technical education programs that expose more existing and future workers to the many career opportunities that exist in construction. The association is also urging federal officials to allow more workers to lawfully enter the country to help meet unfilled demand until the domestic pipeline for preparing workers is rebuilt.

He added that the association and its chapters are supporting the industry with a broad range of workforce development initiatives. This includes the national association’s targeted digital recruiting campaign, Construction is Essential, and its Culture of Care workplace retention program.

The construction association is also pushing leaders to continue working to untangle supply chains that have been hammered by COVID lockdowns, shipping and manufacturing labor shortages and massive inflationary pressure, Simonson noted.

“There is plenty of work for the industry to perform, there just aren’t enough people to do the work or materials to complete the projects.” said Simonson. “Addressing labor shortages and supply chain problems will ensure that the construction industry can upgrade America’s infrastructure, modernize its manufacturing sector and help deliver a more reliable and cleaner energy grid.”

The association and Autodesk conducted the Workforce Survey in late July and early August. Nearly 1,300 firms completed the survey from a broad cross-section of the construction industry, including union and open shop firms of all sizes. The 2022 Workforce Survey is the association’s 10th annual workforcerelated survey.

Equus announces the sale of a 234,670 square-foot class-A office building in Charlotte

Equus Capital Partners, Ltd. has announced that an affiliate completed the sale of The Rotunda, a four-story Class A office building totaling 234,670 squarefeet, located in the South Park office submarket of Charlotte. The property was sold to an Atlanta-based institutional real estate investment fund manager.

Ryan Clutter and Chris Lingerfelt of JLL represented Equus in the transaction.

The Rotunda underwent an extensive $4.5 million amenity and capital improvement program, most of which was completed in 2019. Renovations included luxurious restrooms, the main building lobby as well as the upper floor elevator

lobbies, elevator cab interiors, upgraded lighting in the portico, cooling tower replacement, creating a new amenity space, and activating the expansive 4,500 square-foot south side outdoor patio overlooking Symphony Park.

“We were able to execute our value-add investment thesis by making multiple common area improvements to the asset that enabled us to increase rental rates by 25% since our acquisition in 2017,” commented Peter Shatz, Vice President for Equus who, alongside Christopher Locatell, Senior Vice President of Dispositions, oversaw the transaction for the firm. “The ability to provide renovated best in class facilities in today’s volatile office environment differentiates The Rotunda from its competitors that can’t offer the combination of amenities, location and access that The Rotunda provides, securing its position as a premier option for users into the future”, said Shatz.

Mortgage rates continue to move up

Freddie Mac has released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey (PMMS), showing that the 30-year fixedrate mortgage (FRM) averaged 5.66 percent.

“The market’s renewed perception of a more aggressive monetary policy stance has driven mortgage rates up to almost double what they were a year ago,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “The increase in mortgage rates is coming at a particularly vulnerable time for the housing market as sellers are recalibrating their pricing due to lower purchase demand, likely resulting in continued price growth deceleration.”

• 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 5.66 percent with an average 0.8 point as of September 1, 2022, up from last week when it averaged 5.55 percent. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 2.87 percent.

• 15-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged

Staff report

2022, equity continued on a relentless upward path despite significant economic uncertainties connected to home-mortgage rates doubling this year, inflation soaring at 40-year highs, rising fuel costs and other issues. While the chances of even more improvement remain uncertain, there is little immediate sign that equity gains will flatten out, especially as home buyers keep chasing a historically tight supply of properties for sale.

Equity-rich share of mortgages rises most in the South

Seven of the 10 states where the equityrich share of mortgaged homes increased most from the first quarter of 2022 to the second quarter of 2022 were in the southern region of the U.S. The biggest increases were in Wyoming, where the portion of mortgaged homes considered equity-rich rose from 26.1 percent in the first quarter to 33.9 percent in the second quarter, Maine (up from 48.5 percent to 56.3 percent), Florida (up from 53.6 percent to 60.4 percent), Mississippi (up from 23.5 percent to 29.1 percent) and South Carolina (up from 41.2 percent to 46.5 percent).

States where the equity-rich share of mortgaged homes decreased, or went up the least, from the first quarter to the second quarter of this year were New Jersey (down from 38.6 percent to 37.9 percent), Utah (up from 63.6 percent to 64.3 percent), Idaho (up from 68.8 percent to 69.5 percent), North Dakota (up from 28.6 percent to 29.5 percent) and West Virginia (up from 26.9 percent to 28.4 percent).

Largest declines in seriously underwater properties spread across Northeast, South and Midwest States with the biggest decreases in the percentage of mortgaged homes considered seriously underwater from the first quarter of 2022 to the second quarter of 2022 were spread across the Northeast, South and Midwest. They were led by Mississippi (share of mortgaged homes seriously underwater down from 17 percent to 8.1 percent), Wyoming (down from 10 percent to 7 percent), Missouri (down from 6.6 percent to 5.2 percent), Maine (down from 3.1 percent to 2.2 percent) and Connecticut (down from 4 percent to 3.3 percent).

The only states where the percentage of seriously underwater homes increased from the first quarter to the second quarter

of this year were Montana (up from 3 percent to 3.9 percent), New Jersey (up from 2.9 percent to 3 percent) and New York (up from 2.7 percent to 2.8 percent).

West still with largest share of equity-rich homes; Midwest and South again have smallest

The highest levels of equity-rich properties around the U.S. remained in the West during the second quarter of 2022, with eight of the top 10 states located in that region. The top states were Vermont (71.4 percent of mortgaged homes were equity-rich), Idaho (69.5 percent), Arizona (64.8 percent), Utah (64.3 percent) and Washington (63.2 percent).

Twelve of the 15 states with the lowest percentages of equity-rich properties in the second quarter of 2022 were in the Midwest and South. The smallest portions were in Louisiana (23.4 percent of mortgaged homes), Illinois (25.4 percent), Alaska (26.7 percent), West Virginia (28.4 percent) and Mississippi (29.1 percent).

Among 107 metropolitan statistical areas around the nation with a population greater than 500,000, 39 of the top 40 with the highest shares of mortgaged properties that were equity-rich in the second quarter

of 2022 were in the West and South. The top five were Austin, TX (76.5 percent equity-rich); San Jose, CA (75.1 percent); San Francisco, CA (70.5 percent); SarasotaBradenton, FL (70.4 percent) and Boise, ID (69.7 percent). While Austin again led the South and San Jose led the West, the leader in the Northeast region again was Portland, ME (62.6 percent) and the top metro in the Midwest continued to be Grand Rapids, MI (52 percent).

Seventeen of the 20 metro areas with the lowest percentages of equity-rich properties in the second quarter of 2022 were in the Midwest and South. The smallest levels were in Baton Rouge, LA (19.6 percent of mortgage homes were equity-rich); Wichita, KS (22.1 percent); Jackson, MS (24.8 percent); Little Rock, AR (25.7 percent) and Chicago, IL (26.5 percent).

The portion of mortgaged homes considered equity rich rose from the first quarter of 2022 to the second quarter of 2022 in 105 of the 107 metro areas with sufficient data (99 percent), while the level of mortgaged homes considered equity rich rose annually in 106 of the 107.

ENNICO: Going for the Handyman Special

“I am a general contractor and builder whose business has gone downhill with the current housing downturn. I have decided to start a local handyman business to help ride out the storm. I would greatly appreciate your opinion of this business in this market.”

With new home construction winding down due to higher interest rates and a shortage of workers, a lot of building contractors are sitting on their hands wondering how they will survive the coming rough times. Congratulations for realizing that you will have to “reinvent” yourself to keep your head above water.

Here are some tips:

NO JOB IS TOO SMALL

A couple of years ago, you couldn’t get a contractor to do a small job for love or money, unless you were married to him. In tough times, people will still pay to have little jobs done, especially if they’re messy, difficult or dangerous. Let the world know you will do them for a fair price.

GO BEYOND CONTRACTOR HOURS

Be prepared to work evenings and weekends; that’s when your customers are home, the washing machine breaks down, and they realize for the first time that the bathtub faucet in the upstairs bathroom they never use has been leaking for weeks.

SAY YES TO EVERYTHING

This is not a time for specialists. If it’s a leaky faucet or a clogged carburetor on a snowblower, fix it. If it’s a retaining wall that’s falling down, cement it. If it’s a squirrel in someone’s attic, relocate or, ahem, terminate it with extreme prejudice.

BILL PROMPTLY

The longer it takes you to bill your customers, the more trouble you will have collecting. (SET ITAL) Always (END ITAL) give the customer your bill as soon as the job’s done, and try not to leave the job site without having the customer’s check in your hands.

WATCH THE LITTLE DETAILS

People are fussy about the people they invite into their homes, even if they’re terrible housekeepers. Take your shoes off when you walk in the door without being asked to. Wear clean clothing that doesn’t show off your anatomy when you bend over. Shave every day. Do not smoke when on the job. Watch your language. Say “please” and “thank you.” Do not call the customer by their first names unless they invite you to do that. Don’t mispronounce their names; call them “sir” or “madam,” or ask them to pronounce it correctly. Most importantly, clean up after yourself. Even if you do a great job, if you leave the customer with a mess to clean up afterward, that’s the only thing they

will remember about you.

ASK FOR REFERRALS

Forget about sending postcards to every address in town. That’s a waste of time and money because nobody looks at them. When I’m looking for a good handyperson, I always ask my colleagues or neighbors to recommend one. If a customer seems satisfied with your work, ask them to refer you to everyone they know. Leave them with lots of your business cards and try to make them feel a little sorry for you so they go out of their way to help.

ADVERTISE ON NEXTDOOR

And be sure to point people to your website so they can see all of the wonderful reviews from satisfied customers. (You do have a website, don’t you?)

BECOME A HOME REPAIR EXPERT

There will always be do-it-yourselfers in your community who will want to at least try to do home repair jobs themselves before hiring someone like you. Rather than ignore them, make an effort to get them on your side. Teach classes at the local community college on “How to Fix Things Around the House” (better yet, “Basic Home Repairs Any Woman Can Do,” if your wife will permit you to do it). Volunteer to teach home improvement courses at your local Lowe’s or Home Depot outlets where you use the store’s

merchandise to show people how to fix things. Host a home repair show on your local “public access” cable TV station. Who knows, you may become a celebrity!

You may ask, “Why should I spend time training my competition?” Because, as cynical as it may sound, more than 90% of these people will never follow through on the advice you give them. Once your students see that these jobs are too big, too complicated, too dangerous or too messy to do themselves, they will hire you to do it for them, since you’re now the only “home improvement expert” they know.

ONE LAST TIP

And when the economy does improve and there are once again construction jobs to be done, please -- please -- don’t forget the people who helped you and your family through these difficult times. Make a promise that you will continue to be available to these people when they need you, even if they never ask you to build an addition, expand a family room or convert a four-room cape into a centerhall colonial.

NOVAK: Don’t list elite memberships on resume

Q: My wife passed her certified public accountant exam and received her Master of Business Administration from a top school. Her entrance score qualifies her to join Mensa International. She has thought about joining and listing it on her resume, but I think it’s not be a good idea. I’m secure about being married to a highly intelligent and competent woman, but I don’t know how interviewers would feel about Mensa on a resume.

A: Joining Mensa is an excellent way to meet and socialize with people of similar intellectual abilities, but it does not belong on a resume, which will be explained later. This exclusive group is known internationally. It sponsors calendar events, leadership workshops, various intellectual games, annual gatherings and gatherings at the regional level.

Mensa offers a two-hour admission test, which “includes two tests featuring questions involving logic and deductive reasoning. If you score at or above the 98th percentile on either of the two tests, you’ll qualify and be invited to join Mensa,” according to the website.

Mensa also accepts for membership approximately 200 different test scores that measure aptitude or ability.

The following main tests are used as qualifiers for college entrance exams: GMAT, GRE, SAT, ACT, LSAT, AGCT, GT, NGCT, GCT (Military Personnel Records), Miller Analogy (MAT) and more. The list can change as more tests are developed and reviewed.

Joining the group can enhance one’s life since individuals can meet others in Mensa Facebook groups, special interest groups, local groups, and even dating apps. Its membership is based on IQ, one’s intellectual ability. Though IQ categories vary, generally, a high IQ is a score over 140; a genius IQ is 160 and up; and an unmeasurable genius is 200 and over.

Detailed IQ information can help explain the potential intelligence levels that help or hinder an individual’s performance.

-- IQ of 0-24: Profound mental retar dation. Limited or no ability to commu nicate, eat, bath, dress or use the toilet.

-- IQ of 25-39: Severe mental retar dation. Limited ability to communicate, eat, bath, dress or use the toilet. Cannot perform academic skills.

-- IQ of 40-54: Moderate mental re tardation. Some independent self-help skills and very basic academic skills.

-- IQ of 55-69: Mild mental retarda

tion. Usually able to dress and bath in dependently, do simple jobs and perform elementary school academics.

-- IQ of 70-79: Borderline. May live independently with difficulties and can perform simple and repetitive jobs-- IQ of 80-89: Low-average. Can complete vocational education and live inde pendently.

-- IQ of 90-190: Average. Can com plete high school graduation and college with difficulty.

-- IQ of 110-119: High-average. Typi cal level of college graduates.

-- IQ of 120-129: Superior. Typical lev el of persons with doctoral degrees.

-- IQ of 130-144: Gifted. Capable of understanding highly complex academic material.

-- IQ of 145-159: Genius. Exceptional intellectual ability and capable of look ing beyond known facts.

-- IQ of 160-175: Extraordinary ge nius. Extraordinary talent like Albert Einstein.

Here are a few reasons why it should not be included on a resume: Many people don’t know their IQ regardless of their job title, but they have an idea of what it may be based on their accomplishments throughout their schooling, career and life. Every job

seeker’s intention is to be chosen for an interview. Some highly intelligent managers may only want to hire other highly intelligent individuals, but a less emotionally intelligent manager (one who exhibits jealousy and insecurity in his or her job) may want the new hire to be a few steps below.

If a person has graduated from an Ivy League or top-10 school, that interviewer already knows the candidate is in a high-intelligence category, so nothing needs to be stated. Having worked for highly respected employers also adds a valuable credential, as well as having excellent references, which can be part of the resume’s profile summary.

Though a computer database may group desirable resumes for any given position, the resumes are turned over to humans who review them and interview the candidates. Job candidates cannot assume the hiring manager is as secure and emotionally intelligent as one wants an interviewer to be. Never omit or limit accomplishments from school or past employment, but don’t include anything on a resume that smacks of arrogance.

Rare bear market in bonds strips investors of safe haven

BY STAN CHOE AP BUSINESS WRITER

NEW YORK (AP) — A rare bear market in bonds hasn’t gotten much attention, but it may be inflicting more pain on investors than the downturns for stocks, cryptocurrencies and other investments.

Investment-grade bonds — those issued by governments and corporations with good credit ratings — have fallen more than 20% from their peak in January 2021. That may not sound like a big deal when large U.S. stocks tumbled 20% within roughly six months and Bitcoin halved in value this year alone.

But bonds are supposed to be the safe part of any portfolio. Investors expect them to offer stability when stocks and other risky investments take one of their

notoriously sharp swings. Now even this part of investors’ portfolios is taking on water.

“Global bonds have entered the first bear market in a generation,” UBS strategists wrote in a recent report.

This year’s returns for the widely followed Bloomberg Global Aggregate index of high-quality bonds look to be the worst since its 1990 inception. It could be one of the worst years ever for bonds, if not the worst.

Bond prices around the world have been falling as central banks rush to raise interest rates in hopes of beating back the high inflation damaging economies globally.

Sweden’s central bank this past week more than doubled its key interest rate to 1.75%, for example. The European Central Bank recently raised its key rate by a record amount, three-quarters

of a percentage point. In Washington, the Federal Reserve announced its third such hike of the year this past week.

When interest rates rise, they knock down prices for older bonds already sitting in investors’ portfolios. That’s because the older bonds’ yields suddenly look less attractive than what newer bonds are offering. Some bonds are protected from such price swings, such as I-bonds issued by the U.S. government, but access to them is limited.

Rates have risen quickly this year, with the Fed hiking its benchmark overnight rate up to a range of 3% to 3.25% from virtually zero at the start of the year. That’s helped yields hit their highest levels for two-year Treasurys since 2007 and for 10-year Treasurys since 2011.

The widespread expectation is that the Fed and other central banks will keep

raising rates, which should maintain pressure on bonds.

Many professional investors say that despite these challenges, bonds should still be a safe part of any portfolio. That’s because other options look even more risky.

Rising rates can hurt stock prices even more than bonds if corporate profits don’t grow quickly, and analysts are now slashing their forecasts for upcoming profits. Gold’s price is also falling because of rising rates. Unlike bonds, gold doesn’t pay its investors any interest.

Plus, many investors hope the sharpest rate hikes may now be in the past. And if a recession does indeed hit, which some economists are predicting, bonds could hold up better than other investments as investors shift money into them and out of stocks. They have a reputation for safety, after all.
