Stocks plunge but bonds rally as traders rethink rate hikes — ride the Treasury bounce
As stock prices fall, investors are buying U.S. government bonds for safety, and there are early signs that the market is overestimating how aggressively the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates.
Idea
With tech stocks in a freefall, money is rotating into safe government bonds, pushing their prices up. At the same time, some traders are starting to doubt that the Fed will actually hike rates as aggressively as the market currently prices in. If rate hike expectations cool down, bond prices will rise even further because they benefit from lower rate expectations. This creates a double tailwind for bonds: a flight to safety from the stock selloff plus a potential shift in rate expectations.
