I won't disagree that rates may indeed remain low; but I don't see a trend yet for most i.g. bonds; although the declines for the most part have subsided. A chart here for 4 i.g. bond groups.
I don’t understand the anemic returns on ultra short stuff - with the 10 year near 3%. If the curve is relatively flattish, I’d expect cash to be yielding north of 2%. It ain’t as far as I can tell - but I’m not very knowledgeable on the topic.
If the short stuff were to get above 3%, I’d expect lot more investors to start to move there from riskier assets.
