bonds
Discussion was dominated by the bond sell-off, rising yields and whether higher income now compensates for duration, inflation and fiscal risks. Several speakers argued bonds are becoming a more credible alternative to expensive equities, while others called them a trap or structurally poor hedge. Views diverged sharply on whether current yields offer value or signal further losses, with duration, inflation, issuance and recession risk central to the debate.
