Core Bonds

December 23rd 2022

  • Since we’re starting to see positive signs of inflationary pressures easing, it is likely the Fed can step down the pace and magnitude of rate hikes in 2023 and perhaps even pause rate hikes, which could be welcoming news for core bonds.


  • Historically, core bonds have performed well during Fed rate hike pauses. Since 1984, core bonds were able to generate average 6-month and 1-year returns of 8% and 13%, respectively, after the Fed stopped raising rates. Moreover, all periods generated positive returns over the 6-month, 1-year and 3-year horizons.
