Trying To Think Through the Bond Situation

I’ve mentioned my dumb luck at having most of our money in cash, earning about 4% as of 4/1. My strategy is to dollar cost average back into the market between now and the end of the year. If you ask my reasoning on this, I’d just say that I don’t want to be late to the party that follows the end of trade war. I have begun the process with my IRA, and will soon start on Chris’s.

My quandary has to do with our bond allocation. Thinking that the Federal Reserve would soon lower rates to stave off a possible recession I was considering fully investing the bond allocation at this time. It now seems that a wrench has been thrown into my plan. With other countries now demanding higher interest rates on U.S. debt due to the trade war, I’m not so sure of myself any longer.

Anyone want to jump in and help me think this through?
