Disparate economic signals can be confusing for bond investors ‒ what’s the best way to navigate these uncertainties?

  • Will recessionary pressures in the UK and Europe lead policymakers to cut interest rates?
  • Will the robust US economy mean rates stay higher for longer?
  • What impact could the end of Japan’s Yield Curve Control policy have on global fixed income portfolios?

In this 45-minute Q&A, Vanguard’s fixed income experts will address these questions and many others that are top of mind for bond investors.
