Buying Bonds? This International Bond ETF Has Outperformed U.S. Bonds for 10 Years

What the story claims

3 claims · each scored for market impact

What matters in this story

1
IMF research indicates that bond returns have become more positively correlated with stocks since 2020, meaning bonds may no longer provide a hedge during stock market downturns. — The loss of negative correlation reduces the effectiveness of traditional 60/40 portfolios, increasing overall systemic risk for diversified investors.
-0.60
2
Rising levels of global government debt are increasing bond supply, which may lead to higher interest rates and lower bond prices if demand does not keep pace. — Increased supply pressure on government debt typically puts downward pressure on bond prices across the board.
-0.40
3
The Vanguard Emerging Markets Government Bond ETF (VWOB) has significantly outperformed the Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND) over the last 10 years, 3 years, and 1 year. — Strong historical performance of emerging market debt suggests a potential shift in investor appetite toward higher-yield, riskier bond assets.
