BNDX And BND: After Warsh's Speech, I Don't Like Bond Funds Anymore
I think the decoupling of US and international rates is driven by secular, superior US productivity, raising the neutral rate and limiting the appeal of foreign bonds for USD-based investors. In the past, two disruptive events (COVID and the Iran war) have "hidden" the Fed's decoupling from other Central Banks. The decoupling is now back, barring AI job market disruptions. Europe and Japan face demographic and productivity stagnation, likely leading again or near-zero rates, but hedging costs erode potential gains for US holders of BNDX.
