If a person is in 30% tax bracket bond may not make lot of sense as post tax he would make 5.5 % return . It’s a good substitute for bank f.d .
I feel rate hikes are mostly priced in and there may be 20-50 bps upside pricing left in bonds.
Most of private companies listed bonds like hdfc icici trade some where close to 7 % Yield .
New bonds coming up will offer a better yield.
Also keep in mind most of bonds which have high yield come with 10 year or so maturity hence the higher yield
