FYI: Bond prices have been falling over the past several months as investors are becoming increasingly convinced that the Federal Reserve will hike short-term interest rates in the U.S. later this year for the first time since 2006. Higher short-term borrowing rates will increase the rates of return demanded by investors, and newly issued bonds with higher interest rates will make existing bonds at fixed yields less attractive by comparison.
