U.S. government debt tops $36 trillion—here's what that means for investors.
With debt at roughly 100% of GDP and deficits running over $1 trillion this fiscal year, rising interest costs are siphoning significant federal revenue nearly 18% by year-end just to service the debt. Globally, G7 nations face similar debt burdens, prompting bond markets to demand higher yields to offset risk. For portfolio strategy, this backdrop highlights why staying selective tilting toward shorter-duration bonds, high-quality sovereigns, and diversified fixed-income remains essential.

Bonds have quietly helped stabilize portfolios in 2025. Despite sharper swings in equities, high-quality bonds—including Treasuries, investment-grade corporates, and short/intermediate funds have delivered low to mid-single-digit gains so far. With 10 year Treasury yields hovering around 4.4–4.5% and robust credit spreads, bonds are offering attractive income while buffering volatility. As the Fed holds steady and the market awaits potential rate cuts, bonds remain a solid defensive anchor even in a choppy market environment.
If you’re looking for ways to preserve capital and generate steady returns, let's explore how a tailored bond allocation could enhance your portfolio resilience.
