TLT Event-Driven Breakdown Short Strategy
Created
Thesis
When the Fed hikes, the entire curve of borrowing costs tends to shift upward, and this cycle is unusual because long-term yields were already at multi-decade highs before the meeting. Calls for an even larger half-point hike show the inflation pressure may force the Fed to sound tougher than markets expect. A fund holding 20-plus-year government bonds loses money mechanically when long-term yields rise, so it is the cleanest way to bet that this week's decision extends the yield climb rather than reversing it.
