Rising bond yields are not dead...they are just resting....nothing goes straight up....
I don't think you can attach too much prognostic value to the futures market...isn't it mostly a hedging position ?
So imo,trying to catch a bounce in the bond  market (indirectly) via income/dividend stocks would be speculative indeed.
Maybe if we get Frexit and Grexit...maybe.
My BCE is long gone and I am not missing it :)
