  • Stock market volatility has picked up in reaction to the Trump administration's tariff plans. Should investors consider bonds? We answer that question here.

The article from Kiplinger discusses the potential impact of Donald Trump's presidency on the bond market. It highlights that Trump's proposed policies, including tax cuts, infrastructure spending, and deregulation, could lead to higher inflation and interest rates, which traditionally have a negative effect on bond prices. However, the article also notes that bonds still serve as a crucial part of a diversified investment portfolio due to their role in reducing risk and providing income. It suggests that while the immediate future might see a sell-off in bonds due to expectations of rising rates, long-term investors might still find value in bonds, especially if they are looking for stability and income. The piece advises investors to consider shorter-duration bonds or inflation-protected securities like TIPS to mitigate some of the risks associated with rising rates. Additionally, it points out that not all of Trump's policies might pass as proposed, suggesting a cautious approach to bond investing during this period of uncertainty.
