[ad_1] Markets The 30‐yr bond yield at some point yesterday surged more than 13 bps, including last Friday’s late‐session move, to 5.03%. Trump’s Big Beautiful but costly Bill getting shaped in the House only proved Moody’s point for its AAA‐rating downgrade and added fuel to the fire. But the Treasury sell‐off lured dip buyers into the arena and by the end of yesterday’s trading day we saw a full recovery of all losses – to the exact basis point.

Since 7 April though, when mid-cap stocks bottomed out, the FTSE 250 has surged 18%. The first week of April also coincided with the new Stocks and Shares ISA year.

The multinational pharmaceutical giant has a forward dividend yield of 4.6% and regularly pays out a high percentage of its earnings to shareholders. With that in mind, here are a couple of reasons why I think GSK is a dividend stock for investors to consider…
