最新报道:Bonds are heading toward their worst decade in history, with the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index on track for a negative annualized return over the past 10 years. Rising interest rates and inflation have eroded fixed-income returns, but income-focused investors may still benefit from higher yields now available. Financial advisors suggest laddering bond maturities and diversifying across sectors to manage risk. While short-term volatility persists, long-term investors could see improved returns as rates stabilize. Experts caution against abandoning bonds entirely, as they remain a key component of balanced portfolios.
