Veteran bond analyst Greg Foss joins us to discuss the recent meltdown of the bond market, what caused it, and what it means for the future of bonds. 2022 saw the biggest drop in sovereign bond markets since the Napoleonic wars, and 2023 so far has not looked good. Can bonds continue as the traditional safe haven asset in investor portfolios with this kind of performance? Will bond holders begin to take bitcoin seriously as an alternative?
