Marcus by Goldman Sachs and Synchrony Financial each raised the annual percentage yield on their 1-year certificates of deposit to 5.3% this past week, according to an analysis from Wells Fargo. Even if the central bank were to step back from its monetary policy stance, banks could still see pressure from higher deposit costs as they compete with money market funds and lower cost CDs reprice at higher rates. Investors hiding in cash-like instruments, including money market funds and savings accounts, face reinvestment risk if interest rates decline. Savers who want the safety of a steady rate for two years also saw yields go up for CDs at select banks this past week. Marcus by Goldman Sachs hiked its APY to 4.85% for its 2-year CD, and Discover Financial boosted its rate to 4.4%.

Jeffrey Gundlach sees an economic downturn on the horizon, but he also sees an opportunity emerging for income investors. Gundlach, founder of DoubleLine Capital, sees interest rates falling as the U.S. economy moves into a recession in the first part of 2024 . However, investors seeking income may do well to step out a little further on the yield curve, rather than hiding in 6-month Treasury bills and cash-like investments. Investors in holdings that are too short-dated may find themselves exposed to reinvestment risk as rates decline. He said investors could buy "the entire yield curve at this point."

Federal Reserve Chair Powell said the strength of consumer and small business's finances may have been "underestimated" as spending remains strong. "We may have underestimated the balance sheet strength of households and small businesses, and that may be part of it," he said during the press conference. While he said the country will eventually see pre-pandemic savings levels, that point may not be here yet. — Alex Harring

Mutual funds are preparing to issue 2023 capital gains distributions — and that could mean a tax surprise is lurking in your portfolio. Fund families are issuing estimated capital gains distributions, which they will make to their shareholders in December. The IRS deems these capital gains to be long term, meaning they're subject to rates of 0%, 15% or 20%, based on your taxable income and filing status. "Excluding 2022, we've had 10-plus years of strong stock market performance, and funds are sitting on embedded gains," said Welch. Portfolios that are actively managed can also generate big capital gains if there's a lot of turnover.

Investors in high-tax locales can protect some of their portfolio income from steep levies by adding state-specific municipal bond funds to their fixed-income roster. "In the muni bond fund market, we're seeing yields higher than they have been in more than a decade," said Amy Arnott, portfolio strategist for Morningstar Research Services. That's because while muni bond income is generally free of federal taxes, it can also avoid state levies if the investor resides in the state where the bond was issued. That's where state-specific muni bond funds come into the picture. See below for a chart of 10 large state-focused muni bond funds.

Utilities, beloved for their dividend payments, are under pressure in today's high rate environment, but a few gems stand out in the tarnished sector, according to Bank of America. The sector has suffered through 2023, shedding 16%, as the Federal Reserve continues to roll out its policy-tightening campaign. But there are a few opportunities in the sector, even as Bank of America says utilities aren't particularly compelling now. Both are also deemed top buys by Bank of America. PG & E has a California rate case development coming on Nov. 2, when the California Public Utilities Commission will be meeting.

Today's higher interest rate environment drives home the reason why investors should scrutinize stocks offering tempting double-digit yields. Digging beneath the surface Multiple factors may contribute to a stock touting high dividend yields at first blush. First, there are dividend sustainers – companies that have made steady payments for years, including Merck , Johnson & Johnson and Southern Co . Investors who want to hunt dividend payers shouldn't go for the biggest yielders, but instead look for names that are in the second or third quintile among dividend payers, he said. "For many investors, you can get a pretty good dividend play and a good yield through ETFs at a low cost," said Ebersole.

The one-year Treasury bill is yielding 5.47% Wednesday, and one-year CDs at some institutions offer annual percentage yields exceeding 5%. "It always makes sense to look at the landscape," said Danika Waddell, a certified financial planner and founder of Xena Financial Planning. Ally Financial and Bread Financial are among the institutions offering a higher renewal rate for customers who stick around. Consider that about a year ago, the average one-year CD had an APY of less than 1%, according to Bankrate.com . Consider that Synchrony Financial has an 11-month no-penalty CD that offers a 4.5% APY, while its 12-month standard CD yields 5.1%.

Tax-exempt income and relative safety are on sale for investors who are sniffing around municipal bonds. Tax-exempt income Interest income from municipal bonds is exempt from federal income tax — and can avoid state and local levies, too, if an investor and the bond issuer are in the same jurisdiction. This feature makes munis especially attractive to high-income investors in the 32% marginal federal income tax bracket and higher. Investors weighing a tax-exempt municipal bond against a corporate bond would do well to check out the tax equivalent yield. Schwab's Howard noted that the 5- to 7-year part of the municipal bond curve is favorable.

High yield bond funds tout sweet yields, but swirling concerns around the economy are spurring questions on how much longer the income party will last. Consider that the 30-day yield on the SPDR Bloomberg Short Term High Yield Bond ETF (SJNK) is 8.78%. Indeed, the Morningstar U.S. high yield bond index has a year-to-date total return of 4.61%, compared to the -1.29% total return on Morningstar's U.S. corporate bond index . Consumers are also a focal point when it comes to the economic outlook, according to Peter Higgins, head of fixed income and senior fixed income portfolio manager at Shelton Capital Management. Being selective about risk UBS is neutral on high yield overall, but positive on short-dated high yield paper of good quality companies.

Stashing money in safe assets is paying off — and another bank has just hiked the yield it pays on a 1-year certificate of deposit. LendingClub bumped the annual percentage yield on its 1-year CD to 5.65%, an increase of 15 basis points. That places LendingClub's 1-year CD some 55 basis points above the median CD peer rate, according to an analysis by Stephens, and it makes the bank's offering the top-paying CD within Stephens' coverage. "Following the market now anticipating a higher for longer rate cycle, we've seen a reversal of the CD rate cuts initiated in September by a few of our online banks," he said. The upside of buying a CD is you get to lock in your rate for the duration of the time you hold the instrument.
