The bond market isn’t really on the radar of retail investors. What has caught people’s attention is that portfolios are down. With the bond market being much bigger than the equity market, is now the time to buy bonds? Most retirement plans have bonds, with the general suggested allocation being 60% equities to 40% fixed income, adjusting with age. Whether issued by the US treasury or a corporation, chances are bonds are already a part of your portfolio. While it’s difficult to answer this question with a straight yes or no, Serge can make a good case that it is, if you focus on the right part of the yield curve.

We can all agree that the economy is slowing, but you have to consider that it doesn’t turn on a dime. The Fed is doing the largest financial tightening move in recorded history, and many are asking why bonds haven’t rallied yet. It has to do with the volatility of the market. The hawkish tone of the Fed has scared people away from the bond market. Serge thinks this is about to change, possibly over the next quarter. If we keep our eye on the 10-year part of the yield curve, Serge thinks it very well could be a buy year. If you’re interested in daily investment update videos, sign up at thesteadytrader.com.
