Bond sales lead to portfolio adjustments at quarter end
In the last quarter of the year, there was a sharp wave of bond selling, which disrupted the balance of investment portfolios that were aimed at maintaining a specific proportion of stocks and bonds. Reports predicted that American pension funds alone would sell assets worth approximately $33 billion in stocks to rebalance their portfolios to their target levels, with the proceeds being converted into bonds. This was the largest such activity since the beginning of the new millennium, and its effects are expected to become clearly evident at the start of the fourth quarter. This could put pressure on stocks and lead to increased demand for bonds, especially as the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds rose to its highest level since 2009.
