Bond market bounces back after panic sell-off — grab Treasury ETFs

Yesterday, the stock market plunged because the new Federal Reserve chair hinted at raising interest rates to fight inflation, which caused bond prices to crash. Today, those same bonds are bouncing back as investors decide the sell-off went too far, too fast.

Idea

When the new Fed chair spooked the market with talk of raising interest rates, panicked selling drove bond prices down to unusual lows. However, investors are already stepping back in to buy the dip today, realizing the long-term outlook isn't as dire as the initial panic suggested. When bonds rebound this sharply after an emotion-driven plunge, they tend to climb steadily for a few days as the market finds its balance again.
