Fed signals higher rates coming — bet against long-term government bonds

The Federal Reserve just hinted that borrowing costs could go even higher this year to fight inflation, causing bond investors to sell and driving interest rates up.

Idea

When the central bank signals that interest rates will climb, older bonds suddenly become worth less because new ones pay higher returns. Big money managers are currently rushing to dump their long-term government bonds. You can bet against the value of these long-term bonds by trading a fund that tracks them. As long as the Fed keeps pushing rates up, the price of this fund should continue to drop.
