When is the right time to buy bonds?
1. Economic downturn: Because the bond price is inversely proportional to the interest rate, and the interest rate is directly proportional to the economy, it is suitable to buy bonds when the economy is down.
2. loose monetary policy period: loose monetary policy generally refers to increasing the money supply in the market and reducing the reserve ratio and loan interest rate, which is beneficial to bonds.
At the same time, the funds raised by bond funds are mainly invested in the bond market, and the income mainly comes from changes in net value and bond interest, calculated according to 360 days. Therefore, bond funds have benefits on holidays, and the benefits of holidays are generally reflected in the net value of fund shares.
Bond funds purchased by investors will not be profitable until the weekend when their shares are confirmed on Friday. If their shares are not confirmed on Friday, they will not make a profit on the weekend. For example, if they buy a bond fund or a money fund at the weekend, their purchase order will be submitted next Monday (trading day). After confirming your shares according to the net value announced that night, you will start to calculate your profits, that is, Tuesday (trading day).
