As the stock market faltered in March, we saw the Federal Reserve step up with emergency rate cuts and Quantitative Easing to buy bonds. As stocks worsened and bond markets traded in a volatile and chaotic manner, the Fed once again stepped in with a surprise rate cut (on a weekend!) The actions taken by the Fed stabilized markets.

Quarterly Financial Markets & Economic Update- October, 2017 I love this time of year. The markets have not given way to anything, with long term bonds still trading in a tight range and short term rates having risen from Fed action.

Shell Shocked If you are a fixed income investor, you have seen the worst that the markets have to offer in the second quarter of 2013. Mutual funds and ETFs specializing in mortgage backed securities saw their worst quarter in terms of losses and outflows since 1992. If you are a fixed income investor, you are clearly shell shocked.

Throughout the summer, the great bond market selloff of 2013 continued on. Treasuries, Agencies, mortgage backed securities, corporate, municipals- all were battered because the markets believed that the Federal Reserve was about to cut the amount of, or “taper,” its $85 billion of monthly purchases of long term bonds.
