Not certain if you are including balanced funds such as Vanguard’s Target Retirement or Lifestrategy Funds in your question, but they have a portion of the fund holdings in non-US bonds. I believe that Vanguard also offers mutual funds devoted to bonds outside the US. When I have tried to time the market or chase returns, I have usually ended up regretting it. So, I have tried to resist reacting to the stock or bond market and stay mostly invested in balanced funds. I use Vanguard exclusively except for a portion actively invested at a bank-associated investment group, which has not really done any better or worse than Vanguard thru market ups and downs.
