Bonds have a historical seasonal time in June. Started a bit early this year. Had a bottom in the early part of the year and is currently just poking its head above short-term resistance at $6.14. That will bring in the $7 range and if we get above that and in the $7.80 area, then the sky is the limit. This is made up of 70% government bonds, 17% corporates, pretty high quality and the rest is super nationals. Risk/reward is in your favour. Downside risk is about 6%.
