What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Eight senior bond fund managers, collectively overseeing nearly $700 billion in assets, spoke with Reuters about current fixed-income market conditions. These managers are favoring a more selective and conservative investment approach, avoiding large macro bets. Treasury yields have climbed this year due to concerns about inflation and fiscal deficits, while the corporate bond market faces valuation risks and a surge in AI-related debt.
