Bond ETFs are down as Treasury yields rise. Here’s how tax-loss harvesting could give investors a chance to reset interest-rate exposure.
The Fed raised rates for the first time since 2023. A day later, the 10-year Treasury yield slipped back below 5% and the entire curve rallied.
Bond market performance has been disappointing since 2020, ending a 40-year bull market. Investors prioritize preserving capital, making gold valuable.
Amid a global bond market sell-off with yields spiking 1% or more over the past year, the author advocates for a contrarian 'buy the dip' strategy on bonds. The Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND) is recommended as an accessible way for individual investors to gain diversified exposure to 11,421 bonds across the U.S. market, currently offering yields around 5.14-5.5%.
