BND's short-term outlook is positive due to lower inflation expectations and a potential end to or reduction in QT activity. Key bond risks include potential oil price spikes from geopolitical tensions and rising corporate credit risk during stock market crashes. In the long term, BND is not ideal due to concerns about US government debt, which makes its debt unpayable without chronically elevated inflation.

BND And AGG: The Best Is Behind Them (Rating Downgrade)

In December 2023, I rated BND and AGG as Strong Buys due to economic slowdown and anticipated Fed rate cuts; both ETFs delivered decent returns. I now downgrade BND and AGG to Hold, as the market overreacted to economic data, pricing in more rate cuts than likely. Despite being slightly overpriced, BND and AGG still offer attractive yields (4.16% and 4.22%) for income-focused investors, with minimal downside risk.
