Analysts negative on bonds, but are poised for change

Quoted financial analysts, January 1, 2015 – September 23, 2015

New York, September 25, 2015. Bond markets around the world are currently mostly the subject of negativity from quoted financial analysts, but are also being framed as an investment option to consider in the future, according to new research from Media Tenor International.

“Analysts have only been clearly positive on U.K. bond investing this year. Elsewhere, bonds – both corporate and government – have largely been the subject of skepticism,” says Racheline Maltese, a researcher at Media Tenor.”

However, Media Tenor found that financial analysts have been cautiously optimistic on corporate bonds, and have expressed growing enthusiasm for 10-year Treasuries depending on the actions of the U.S. Fed going forward.

“Bonds are framed as highly sensitive to a number of economic developments - from moves by the U.S. Fed to the state of the Chinese economy. Analyst sentiment suggests that there will be a call in the future for investors to jump back into the bond market. While that moment is approaching, media coverage makes it clear that it hasn’t arrived yet.”

This research examined all 40,304 analyst statements in eight opinion-leading business media January 1, 2015 – September 23, 2015
