Fed rate hikes less likely as oil crashes — ride the Treasury bond rally
Because the war is ending, investors think inflation will cool down thanks to cheaper oil. This makes them think the Federal Reserve won't have to raise interest rates as much, so they are buying bonds.
Idea
When oil prices crash, the cost of shipping and manufacturing drops, which takes the pressure off inflation. If inflation is cooling down, the Federal Reserve doesn't need to keep interest rates super high. Because traders no longer expect aggressive rate hikes, they are rushing to lock in the yields on long-term government bonds. Buying bond ETFs like TLT captures this rally as bond prices go up when rate hike expectations disappear.
