The fund tracks a market value-weighted index of fixed income securities issued by the US Treasury, excluding inflation-protected bonds, with maturities of at least 10 years.

Getting longer duration may appeal to yield seekers, but the prospect of rising interest rates may be off-putting given the rate risk. The U.S. Federal Reserve was expected to start raising rates this year, but it could be less hawkish.

Will a Potential for Deflation Make Long Treasuries Appealing?

There's more than enough market influences to induce volatility right now. That's indicative in the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), which is up almost 80% in 2022.

While there is upward pressure on market rates in 2022, it's not coming from higher net supply. In fact, lower net supply can help to richen government bonds. On top of that, we should see flatter curves over the whole of 2022. We also anticipate some upward pressure on USD Libor.

The deficit spending that supported the economy in 2020 is showing up in hot inflation numbers in 2021. While I think the inflation numbers will get better in 2022, I do not believe they will get back to pre-pandemic levels because of owners' equivalent rents and wage gains in the CPI.
