Capitalize on Yield Surge With Inverse Treasury ETF

It generally takes a few years for changes in Federal Reserve rates to fully impact bond fund dividends. Bond funds are still benefitting from prior rate hikes.

TBF may be useful as CPI data comes out next week which we expect to stoke fears of the stickiness of inflation. Leveraged ETFs have daily resetting returns and should be used over short durations due to value erosion and volatility drift. Moreover, TBF is sensitive to rate changes due to high duration.
