Inflation hits 3-year high and rate hikes loom — bet against long-term bonds
Inflation is hitting levels we haven't seen in three years, and top Wall Street analysts now warn that the Federal Reserve might actually raise interest rates twice this year rather than cut them.
Idea
Hot inflation usually forces the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates high or push them higher. When interest rates rise, the price of older, lower-yielding bonds falls. With experts at Deutsche Bank and Columbia Threadneedle predicting two potential rate hikes, long-term government bond prices are likely to keep dropping. Betting against long-term treasuries is a direct way to profit from this rising rate environment.
