📈 Summary
The bond market exhibits a pronounced divergence in performance. Over the week and month, High Yield Corporate Bond ETFs show resilience and strength, contrasting sharply with the underperformance of Treasury ETFs, especially long-duration bonds. The three-month overview reflects a slight recovery in shorter-duration Treasuries, yet vulnerability persists in longer durations, possibly indicating market risk aversion and inflation concerns. Investors remain cautious, favoring shorter-duration and high-yield corporate options to mitigate volatility risks.
