The Fed practically announced it intends to buy US bonds to keep long rates down. This is bullish for T-bonds, and bearish for the dollar. Perhaps the rush to the dollar for safety and de-leveraging is starting to fade and long term fundamentals start prevailing.

Commentators on Wall Street kept suggesting buying corporate and even high yield bonds because of mispricing compared to treasuries and force liquidation from funds. Can one benefit in buying such bonds from mutual funds (closed-end or open) or only from individual bonds. Also would muni bonds be more risky compared to corporates at this stage since these yields are also very attractive.

Anyone who can comment please do so.
