Q: Is this a good time in our current economic cycle to buy US high yield bonds, with the US economy still on unstable ground? Or am I better buying a Canadian high yield dividend ETF? Income investor and will be held in a registered account.
Thanks!

5i Research Answer:

We would prefer the US; right now it has much much stronger GDP growth, and with the rate pivot ongoing high yield bonds should start to do much better.
