I think the window for timing the bond market was in 2021 when interest rates were so low that the reward for taking on term risk was pretty insignificant. I do not think we are in a period where attempts at timing have anything more than random chance of success and in the long term will be insignificant. I would buy bonds now if the risks of bonds is worth the reward and fits into your overall ability, need and willingness to take risk. For me, the risks and rewards are justified I have about 50% fixed income. When compared to stocks, the risks of bonds are much much lower. I own TIPS bond funds and therefore have zero credit risks and no inflation risk but as always there is term/interest rate risks.
