Summary
In 2022, the bond market suffered a significant meltdown due to the Federal Reserve raising interest rates aggressively. This caused the worst-ever year on record for U.S. bond investors. This year, bonds are unlikely to do as poorly, and they will likely reclaim their place as a portfolio stabilizer and diversifier relative to stocks. Investors should consider total bond funds with intermediate-term duration of six to eight years.
