Analysts See Treasury Yields Stabilizing Around 4% Over Next Year, Favoring Stocks for Long Term

Investment analysts surveyed expect the 10-year Treasury yield to be 4.18% in a year, essentially unchanged from the current 4.20%.

Forecasts ranged from 3.50% to 5.0%, but most see yields moving lower over the next 12 months.

Analysts said higher fixed income yields present an opportunity before the Fed starts cutting rates.

Most still favor stocks over fixed income for long-term investors due to price appreciation potential.

The survey was conducted March 13-22 among 12 investment strategists and economists.
