TrackInsight: Negative performance for long term government bonds

ETFs tracking long term government bonds indices, with at least 10 years of maturity marked a halt in their 2019 rally, with an average performance of -1,17% on Thursday, July 11^th, the 3^rd daily negative performance in a row. The year-to-date returns curve flattened at +8,96%, while it passed in negative territory over the last 30 days. From flows perspective, investors tend to move their assets into safe strategies in this time of uncertainty on worldwide stocks markets, the consequence of the general economic slowdown and expectations of policy implemented by Central Banks in the coming months. This segment of 14 ETFs, exposed to 10 indices, collected more than $ 750 since the end of May, after a relatively quiet beginning of the year.
