Bond ETFs

If there were two highlights this week in the market, the first highlight- the emerging markets ETFs are rebounding especially those from the latin american markets. The second, the bond ETFs like TLT have been falling and seeing no respite. One can only guess the reasons - maybe investors are moving funds into more riskier assets like equities especially in overseas markets [not that US markets are doing bad - in fact, the small cap ETF IWM is now performing similar to its large cap ETF peers like DIA and SPY. The other possible reason might be that with decent job numbers, it does not look like the Fed is going to cut rates any time soon.
