Bond Markets

Abstract

The high and volatile inflation rates of the 1970s have increased greatly the perceived risks of investing in fixed-rate bonds. Longterm yields on dollar bonds, which started the decade at near 7 per cent, finished the decade at near 14 per cent; sterling bond yields moved from 9 per cent to near 17 per cent over the same period. Fixed-rate bonds, once viewed as near-riskless assets, ended the decade as highly volatile investments.
