Central Banks around the world have been raising interest rates, from the US, the EuroZone, the UK, China, Japan etc.
this coupled with the very large run up in the base and precious metals, the energy sector have made bonds a poor investment this year. The currency markets went very quite in Feb and March; abnormally so and we now seem to be cascading into a global asset contraction, with higher volatility and lower prices for global equities and debt.

The financial markets went on a binge of chasing yield the past 18 to 24 months and that should be unwinding now.
