Wharton professor Jeremy Siegel explains why the bond market's 40-year bull run is doomed
The bond market's four-decade bull run will be crushed under coronavirus stimulus and rising inflation, Wharton finance professor Jeremy Siegel toldTreasury notes and corporate bonds stabilized through April on the back of Federal Reserve relief measures, but an uptick in market liquidity will lead to bondholders suffering, Siegel warned.
After a dive through early March that pushed the Treasury yield curve below 1%, US notes have stabilized while corporate bonds surged through April. The Federal Reserve's March 23 announcement that it would begin buying corporate debt alleviated credit-health stresses and formed a direct support for investors mulling debt markets.
Rising inflation weakens bond values by eating away at the asset's face value. Longer-maturity bonds are particularly vulnerable to a steady rise in inflation.
