As services inflation has collapsed, I must revise my previous bearish stance on BND, as an inflationary rebound now appears unlikely.

I have a buy rating on BND as a long-term core fixed-income holding, given its low expense ratio and high liquidity. Technical momentum for BND has improved, with potential resistance at $75 and a bullish upside target to $82 if a breakout takes place.
