Bond Vigilantes
Bond vigilantes influence government spending by demanding higher yields on sovereign debt.
These investors aren't an organized group but act individually, influencing the market over time.

Target Short-Term Bonds
Target short and intermediate-dated bonds due to the expectation of a steeper U.S. Treasury yield curve.
Reduce allocations to longer-dated bonds, which are less attractive due to interest rate risk.

Diversify Globally
Diversify globally by lending in markets with stronger fiscal positions than the U.S., such as the UK and Australia.
Consider high-quality emerging markets for yield advantages and as a hedge against equity exposure.
