Big jump in US Treasury yields? What's your take on related investments?
Hi, mooers！![]()
In March, the Federal Reserve kept its dovish stance without the expected interest rate cut. When will this change? This question is now a hot topic in the financial world.
Jerome Powell, head of the Fed, has been clear about his position on rate cuts, which has given the markets some stability. With interest rates rising, more investors are looking at US Treasury bonds and related bond funds.
For the third straight month, the US core CPI for March came in above what was predicted, sending the yield on 10-year US Treasury bonds above 4.5%. This has, without a doubt, captured the interest of many investors.
Given that bond prices rise when interest rates go down, US Treasuries could be an appealing option for those looking for stable earnings in uncertain times. Check out our special "Lock in 5%+ stable yields with US Treasury". Find out more>>

mr_cashcow : Treasury bond or bond funds?🤔
103057627 : I'll study the $PIMCO GIS Total Return Bond Fund (IE00B11XZ988.MF)$ . I don't know how to play bond, worried about liquidity, volume.
101758077 : 1. In today's market, I favor bond funds over US Treasuries for their diversification and potential for higher returns. Bond funds offer a mix of bonds, reducing risk compared to investing in individual bonds. They also provide professional management, which can be beneficial in uncertain markets.
2. To adjust my investments, I would consider increasing my allocation to bond funds with a focus on corporate bonds. Corporate bonds can provide higher yields compared to government bonds, offering a balance between risk and return. Additionally, I would review my equity exposure to ensure it aligns with my risk tolerance and investment goals.
3. I am most optimistic about US Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) as they offer protection against inflation. Inflation can erode the purchasing power of fixed-income investments, making TIPS an attractive option in today's market environment. TIPS adjust their principal value based on changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), providing a hedge against inflation.
