From T.I.N.A (There is No Alternatives to risk assets) to T.A.R.A (There Are Reasonable Alternatives, i.e bonds)

Three years ago in August 2020, the S&P’s dividend yield (in red below) was 1.8%, almost 50 bps higher than the highest yield on the treasury curve. Every treasury note with a duration shorter than 5 years had a yield below 0.2% and the 1-month was almost ZERO. Fast forward to today and the S&P’s dividend yield of 1.55% is 260 bps lower than the lowest point on the treasury curve right now (the 10-year at 4.15%). And the 1-month T-bill yielding at 5.34% is 380 basis points higher than the S&P’s dividend yield. Source: Bespoke
