Global bond markets have suffered unprecedented losses since peaking last year
Government and corporate debt total returns, has fallen 11% from a high in January 2021.
That’s the biggest decline from a peak in data stretching back to 1990, surpassing a 10.8% drawdown during the financial crisis in 2008.
It equates to a drop in the index market value of about $2.6 trillion, worse than about $2 trillion in 2008.
Stocks have bounced back in recent days as more investors bet they will help hedge against inflation, but equities globally are still nursing losses of about 6% this year.
