Here’s the bond-market alternative as U.S. and other developed markets debt deteriorate

Investors are increasingly looking for alternatives to traditional bonds as the U.S. and other G7 nations face deteriorating debt conditions, marking a structural bear market since March 2020, according to Christopher Wood of Jefferies. This shift reflects growing concerns over rising interest rates and economic uncertainty, prompting a search for safer, higher-yielding options. The implications extend beyond mere market adjustments; they could reshape economic policies and investment strategies globally, as policymakers grapple with the consequences of mounting debt levels.
