With the path to rate cuts clearer, Treasury bonds have been heading higher since the start of the summer, but they've taken a turn. The return of rising yields have been putting the Direxion Daily 20+ Yr Trsy Bear 3X ETF (TMV) and the Direxion Daily 7-10 Year Treasury Bear 3X Shares (TYO) back into positive territory.

Rising Yields Bring Inverse Treasury ETFs Back to Positive Territory

TMF, with its 3x leverage, is the most volatile and performs best for short-term trades, despite its risks over long-term holding. The recent yield curve shifts and increased volatility could present a good trading opportunity, making TMF an attractive choice for short-term positions. Given the structure of the TMF ETF, effective risk management is crucial; consider integrating strategies to mitigate potential capital losses, and avoid including it in a long-term portfolio.

TMF: Not Suited For The Long Term, But Ideal For A Trading Strategy

As the U.S. Federal Reserve starts to ease monetary policy, the yield curve is starting to steepen after a couple of years inverted. In turn, this is pushing a pair of leveraged exchange traded funds (ETFs) from Direxion higher.

Steepening Yield Curve Pushes These 2 ETFs Higher

The Federal Reserve's 50 basis point rate cut led to a sell-off in Treasuries, creating a short-term buying opportunity for investors. TMF offers 3x leveraged exposure to long-term Treasuries, which should benefit from anticipated further rate cuts in 2024 and 2025. Despite risks like interest rate and duration risk, TMF is positioned to perform well in the near term due to expected rate declines.

The ECB cut rates by 25bp as widely anticipated, but a slightly hawkish tilt bear flattened the EUR curve, which in our view remains priced aggressively. In the US, as the markets head towards the Fed's first rate cut, the probability of a larger cut rose slightly on Thursday.

Rates Spark: ECB Presser Bear-Flattened The Curve

Following market uncertainty in August, investors may feel compelled to reassess their portfolio allocations. With potential rate cuts from the Federal Reserve on the horizon, now may be a good time to diversify your portfolio and seek growth strategies.

Direxion's Ed Egilinsky Talks Small-Caps, Growth & More

Recent market conditions have sparked interest in long-term Treasury bonds due to probable rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Treasuries provide steady income, a hedge against stock market drops, and offer safety backed by the U.S. government. The Direxion Daily 20+ Year Treasury Bear 3X Shares ETF (TMF) may see gains as Treasuries appreciate with probable rate cuts and possible market uncertainties.

TMF's Leveraged Exposure To Long-Term Treasuries Will Benefit From Rate Cuts

Yields on 10-year U.S. Treasuries have trended lower lately with bond markets pricing in a Federal Reserve rate cut as early as September. Aside from the usual Fed speculation, add in some extra uncertainty for the U.S. presidential election and interest rate traders may see some action in coming weeks and months.

The anticipation for the first rate cut in this rate cycle keeps on building as capital markets hope to see one at least before 2024 comes to a close. Meantime, hopes for looser monetary policy can drive specific leveraged ETFs higher.

Rate Cut Hopes Can Elevate These Leveraged ETFs Higher

Signs of cooling inflation are bringing bond bulls back as the Federal Reserve recently kept interest rates unchanged yet again. Bond bulls, however, are betting on rate cuts propping up prices as the second half of 2024 may see the first of said cuts.

Cooling Inflation and Rate Cut Hopes Bring Bond Bulls Back

A bond rally could be in the works as incoming economic data could hint at a cooling economy. That could bring the 2% target inflation rate closer for the Federal Reserve.

As Treasury Yields Decline, Keep an Eye on These 2 ETFs

Long-term treasuries are attractive due to structural economic challenges and signs of inflation relief. Recent negative macro surprises have added fuel to the bull case, while the technical picture has improved. Factors such as declining real-time inflation, a decline in crude oil prices, and double relief from the Federal Reserve and US Treasury support a bullish view on long-term bonds.

3 ETFs to Consider as Fund Managers Add More Bonds in April

The Direxion Daily 20+ Year Treasury Bull 3X Shares ETF offers 3x leverage on a portfolio of 20-year bonds. TMF is attractive due to the potential for a rebound in bonds and a developing breakout on the chart. Risks include negative compounding and the possibility of a spike in yields breaking the 2023 low in TLT.

Slower Job Growth Injects Bullishness Back in Treasuries

Rising Treasury yields continue to push the prospect of rate cuts farther out into the year. However, a recent pullback might be an early sign that Treasuries could be rising, which should clear the pathway for bullish opportunities in leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Latest Sell-off Could Mean Treasuries Are on the Rise

The capital markets have been hanging on the U.S. Federal Reserve's every word, looking for any indication of rate cuts. But as the higher-for-longer narrative continues to go on, stubborn inflation and elevated yields could keep bond bulls at bay.

Stubborn Inflation and Higher Yields Could Keep Bond Bulls At Bay

With capital markets eyeing the close of the first quarter of 2024, there's much optimism heading through the rest of the year in anticipation of interest rate cuts. This should bring the bulls out who are looking to play a run-up in bond prices.

Anticipation of Yields Falling Should Bring Bond Bulls Out

Interest rate volatility remains high, impacting Treasury yields and creating daily fluctuations in the long bond market. The conditions favor avoiding leveraged Treasury funds, such as the Direxion Daily 20+ Year Treasury Bull 3X Shares ETF due to negative compounding returns. A hot January CPI report but cool January Retail Sales report further assert balanced macro risks.

Avoid TMF For Now Amid Ranging And Volatile Interest Rates

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. Perhaps by enough to cancel out any future rate cuts. By my estimations, and under current Fed guidance, most bond funds would only start to see declining dividends in 2025, at the earliest.
