The financial landscape is experiencing a significant downturn across all asset classes, including a 22% drop in the NASDAQ, which primarily reflects the performance of tech companies. The bond market is facing similar challenges, with the long bond index declining by nearly 17%. This marks a departure from the traditional 60-40 bond portfolio strategy that once provided a buffer during stock market downturns. Historically, the expectation was that in times of stock market decline, investors would flock to bonds, driving bond prices up and yields down. However, this correlation has faltered, suggesting that both equities and bonds are vulnerable in the current economic climate, raising the question of whether opportunities still exist amidst this market disruption.
