Bond Market Reactions: Following Donald Trump's second inauguration, Vanguard bond ETFs initially declined due to concerns about inflation from proposed tariffs but rebounded shortly after his inauguration when no new tariffs were imposed.
Investment Recommendations: Investors are advised to be cautious with long-term bond funds and consider alternatives like the Vanguard Financials ETF, which may benefit from potential deregulation and tax cuts during Trump's presidency.
