TLT Trend Confirmation Strategy
Created
Thesis
The scariest part of this market — the 10-year yield spiking above 5% — may have just peaked. The Fed's fully-hiked-rate and clear inflation vow removed the uncertainty that was pushing yields higher, and global bonds rallied in response, with Treasuries holding gains even though the Fed flagged another hike. When bonds rally on a hawkish Fed, it usually means the bond market believes the inflation fight is credible and the yield spike is done. Long-term bond ETFs are highly leveraged to falling yields, so they could rebound sharply from oversold levels.
