Bond prices crashed on the Fed's rate-hike threat, then bounced — buy the dip in Treasury bonds

Yesterday, bond prices crashed because the new Fed chair hinted at raising interest rates to fight inflation. Today, bond prices are bouncing back as investors buy them at a discount.

Idea

The bond market had a massive panic sell-off yesterday when the new Federal Reserve chair hinted at raising interest rates. While higher rates usually hurt bond prices, the sell-off was so sudden that it created a classic overreaction. Today's rebound shows that big investors are stepping in to buy the dip because the yields (the interest those bonds pay) are suddenly much more attractive. You can profit by buying the bond market while it's still recovering from that overreaction.
