Elevated volatility in US interest rates is prompting markets to reassess their expectations for Federal Reserve policy rate cuts. In this environment, intermediate high-quality bonds may represent a compelling option for investor portfolios. These bonds offer attractive yields, favorable valuations, and a longer duration profile, which could be especially advantageous if the Federal Reserve decides to lower rates. Moreover, they can potentially offer a negative return correlation to equities.
