BND: Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund ETF Shares research
As of 09-25-2026
BND sits below its 200-day average with 1m, 3m, 6m and 12m returns all negative, and relative strength versus the S&P 500 is deeply negative at -8.68% over 3 months. The risk-on regime is being driven by strong equity trend and tight credit spreads, both of which favor equities over core bonds. With yield of only 4.04% and no price momentum, there is little reason to hold this now for a 3-12 month tactical horizon. Rate-sensitive duration exposure looks like dead weight while stocks are leading.
