Bonds are a value, lock in income.
Bonds offer value at current elevated yields. Locking in that income is preferable to sitting in cash, as the bond market has priced in a more hawkish Fed and yields are attractive relative to equities.

Barbell: short paper and intermediate bonds.
For fixed income, a barbell approach: 60% in 1-year paper (short term Treasury bills) and 40% in intermediate core high-quality fixed income. This provides yields while hedging against demand destruction if oil stays elevated.

High quality fixed income is haven.
High quality fixed income remains a haven despite potential interest rate volatility. At some point, rates become high enough to slow the economy and equity markets, which stabilizes itself. Over time, fixed income will deliver good risk-adjusted returns and diversify equity exposure.

The US lost 92k jobs, and unemployment rose to 4.4%. Roland notes the bond market is only pricing in one rate cut, which is "wild" given six negative bond reports. Rieder notes real rates are attractive and income is back. A negative payroll print of this magnitude typically forces the Fed to cut rates to support the labor market. While inflation (oil) is a concern, the economic deterioration (job losses) will eventually force a flight to safety in bonds, and current yields (>4%) offer a "cushion" of income while waiting for capital appreciation. LONG duration and aggregate bonds for income and capital appreciation potential on Fed pivot. Stagflation—if oil pushes inflation higher, the Fed may be unable to cut rates despite job losses, causing yields to rise (prices to fall).
