Horrific YTD performance for global high quality bonds

The Bloomberg Global Agg. Bond index, which is composed of corporate and government bonds, experienced with a decline of -11.6% year-to-date by far the worst performance on record! The losing run came only to a halt in mid-May with a loss of -12.4% and recovered only slightly since then.
