High for longer with the Fed likely to err on the side of caution isn't going to be great for TIPs, even relative to unindexed bonds when inflation starts falling. A possible area where TIP would do well is if there's a credit event in commercial real estate that forces the Fed to consider its growth mandate more. However, how a credit event would ripple through the economy is almost impossible to predict, where the impact on the wider economy would be a factor for TIP performance.

TIPs are treasury-inflation protected securities. TIPs yield around 2.5% plus inflation and are expected to outperform normal treasuries with inflation rates higher than 2.4%. With inflation running at +3.0%, and no signs of going lower, TIPs seem stronger than more traditional treasuries right now.

Wall Street witnessed an upbeat Q4 due to moderation in inflationary pressures, the likelihood of Fed rate cuts in 2024 and decent corporate earnings.

ETF Asset Report of Q4

The iShares TIPS Bond ETF has seen a strong recovery in recent months as bond yields have fallen more than inflation expectations. Inflation expectations have fallen to near two-year lows despite surging risk appetite, creating an opportunity for investors to gain exposure to a recovery in inflation expectations. A potential trigger for a recovery in inflation expectations could be a rebound in oil prices, which are yet to join in the risk rally.

iShares TIPS Bond ETF remains near multi-year lows as even as the sustainable real rate of interest in the US economy continues to decline amid weak growth fiscal dynamics. Strong risk sentiment may prevent further rise in TIP for now as the Fed is unlikely to cut without a rise in credit spreads. Longer term, TIP is likely to outperform unless we see a disinflationary growth recovery, which would likely rely on highly unpopular public spending cuts.

The iShares TIPS Bond (TIP) ETF has bounced back in the past few days as concerns about US inflation jumped. After falling to $101.67 (March 2020 low ) last week, it has rebounded by almost 2%.

Here's why the iShares TIPS Bond ETF (TIP) inflows are rising

The iShares TIPS Bond ETF offers a real yield to maturity of 2.6%, which is far higher than debt-burdened slowing real economy can handle for long. The Fed appears to be remaining hawkish due to the risk of another leg higher in equity prices, which could complicate their efforts to bring down inflation. Weakness since Wednesday's Fed meeting suggests stocks may be buckling under the weight of high real yields and weak growth, which suggests a bottom in the TIP is near.

Inflation above 2% has a negative impact on stock prices; the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF has averaged poor performance during such years. Various sub-sectors of the stock market and sectors of the bond market are affected differently by high inflation. My data shows that energy, utilities, and gold stocks tend to perform well during periods of high inflation, while value category funds outperform growth category funds.

US inflation-linked bond yields provide an opportunity to lock in high real yields before surging Treasury funding costs force the Fed to adopt yield curve control. The iShares TIPS Bond ETF currently yields 2.3% and could generate an additional 15% upside if yields move back down to zero. The outlook for the TIP resembles the 2000 and 2007 periods where inflation-linked bonds went on to return 10% annually for 5 years, outperforming almost every other asset class.

TIP: Yield Curve Control To Drive Real Yields Back Below Zero

The real yield to maturity on the iShares TIPS Bond ETF has risen to multi-year highs of 2.1%, with returns expected to exceed this as real yields decline under a weakening economy and high debt levels. A real yield of 2.1% has historically been consistent with annual nominal returns of 8% over the following 5 years, making the TIP an attractive investment. Despite risks of a deflationary credit crunch, it is unlikely that the TIP will post negative total returns over the coming years, even under a worst-case scenario.
