Michael Novogratz is convinced the bull market in fixed income is over.
?The bear market has started,? Novogratz, principal at Fortress Investment Group LLC, said in a Bloomberg Television interview with Stephanie Ruhle and Erik Schatzker. ?We?ve seen probably a low yield in 30-year Treasuries.?

Yields on 30-year U.S. government debt rose to an almost five-month high Wednesday after Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said long-term interest rates could jump when the central bank raises borrowing costs.
