The purchase made by some money managers to match the index change contributed to the advance of bonds. I did not expect bonds to gain today.

People started buying bonds because the Bank of Japan may not be as hawkish as expected. The BOJ will probably raise rates once by the end of December.

I am too scared to buy bonds. I haven't seen any investor purchase debt recently as it's hard to know when yields will stop rising amid speculation the central bank will raise its key overnight rate.

Buying bonds is difficult for investors these days. The economy is hardly showing signs of slowdown and the timing for the policy shift is getting closer. It is hard to find a chance to buy bonds.
