Bond Market Cycles
The US bond market rose again in
September as the Fed's interest rate
cut lifted fixed income returns. When
we look at YTD results, we find that
bonds have delivered solid gains
following a tough multi-year period
as interest rates and inflation rose
following the pandemic. Declines in
the USD have also boosted
unhedged, non-dollar-denominated
international fixed income
performance for US investors.
