Speculation on monetary policy leads to caution on bonds

Quoted financial analysts, Jan 1, 2015 – June 18, 2015

New York, June 22, 2015. Quoted financial analysts have become more cautious about investing in bonds in response to long-term monetary policy speculation, according to new research from Media Tenor International.

“There is little interest in corporate bonds from quoted financial analysts,” says Racheline Maltese, a researcher at Media Tenor. “Government bonds, especially in the U.S., continue to be of interest, but sentiment has become less positive than earlier this year.”  Maltese also notes that bonds remain an also-ran asset class, while media attention has been focused on the recent all-time high of NASDAQ and changes in long-standing currency market trends.

Junk bonds have received some analyst enthusiasm in a polarized environment. Pimco founder Bill Gross, known as the Bond King and now with Janus, was quoted extensively by Barron’s on his outlook for the market, but even he would not make a strong call in either direction, highlighting pros and cons for investors.

This research examined all 25,640 analyst statements in eight opinion-leading business media January 1, 2015 – June 18, 2015.
