## Resource

In this episode, Lucas and Luna discuss the Federal Reserve's decision to hold rates steady in June 2026 and what it means for dividend investors. They break down the market's muted reaction, the impact on high-yield sectors like utilities and REITs, and why dividend growth stocks may be better positioned in a 'higher for longer' rate environment. Using real data on VYM, SCHD, and the 10-year Treasury yield, they explore how income investors can navigate the current landscape without reaching for yield. The episode also touches on the Fed's updated statement and Chairman Warsh's first meeting. #DividendInvesting #FederalReserve #InterestRates #DividendStocks #VYM #SCHD #REITs #Utilities #TreasuryYields #IncomeInvesting #FedHoldsSteady #DividendGrowth #HighYield #MarketReaction #June2026 #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
