Why has there been a deeper structural change in the investment markets in favour of bonds? |
Why has there been a deeper structural change in the investment markets in favour of bonds? Could be a lot of factors. I would say now it is Interest Rates. Investors may be Speculating that rates will soon go up. Normally when interest rates rise you will see negative fluctuations in the Stock Market because it is a Company Expense. The Bond Market will actually perform better in time. Then as the Economy Dictates the Investors will hopefully sell the Bonds at a profit and reinvest into Stocks. This is how I see this and may be wrong, but, it has worked for me when I invested in this manner. |
