Current case
- Strongest support
10-Year Treasury yield approaches 5% as cash shifts into short-duration debt ETFs
Increased investor demand for short-duration fixed income assets to mitigate duration risk in a rising rate environment.
· Moves etf inflows/outflows, nav performance relative to underlying bonds
- Main threat
Fed Hikes Rates 25 bps to 3.75%-4.00% as Yields Approach 5%
Bond prices move inversely to interest rates. A rate hike directly increases the yield on new short-term bonds, making existing lower-yielding bonds less attractive, thus decreasing their market value.
· Moves bond yields, duration sensitivity
