Opinion: Fed's Rate Cut Once Again Will Benefit US Bond Holders
On September 17th, Harley Bradley, the Co-Head of Global Rates at Insight Investment, stated in a report that the rate cut environment might bring good news to those who have invested in US bonds through globally diversified fixed income portfolios.
