I’m wondering about the relationship between the instability with bond insurers and the bond market in general. Bond funds, like Vanguard’s VBMXF (an intermediate term bond fund) have risen noticeably in the past month. It’s made up of about 10% government bonds and the rest are “high quality” commercial bonds. I’m wondering why this fund hasn’t dropped in value. Any thoughts?
