Subject: Re: Some bond ETFs
From Seeking Alpha:
<<Floating rate bonds and fixed rate bonds react differently to interest rate movements, and so market reactions are different too. Fixed rate bonds tend to see cratering prices when rates rise, as investors sell their older, lower-yielding bonds, to buy newer, higher-yielding alternatives. Floating rate bonds, on the other hand, tend to see relatively stable prices, as investors stay put in anticipation of higher yields. FLRN's price decreased by a measly 0.65% in 2022, compared to losses of over 20% for LQD. Other bonds and bond funds saw significant losses too.>>
