GOVT: U.S. Economy About To Weaken Considerably, Buy Treasuries For The Short Term
The iShares U.S. Treasury Bond ETF (GOVT) offers low-cost exposure to U.S. Treasury bonds with a current yield of over 4% and a duration of 5.8. With U.S. economic uncertainty and potential recession, GOVT ETF is appealing as a safe haven, especially given recent equity market volatility and declining consumer confidence. Tariff uncertainties and potential inflation spikes make GOVT ETF a prudent choice, with expected Fed cuts and regulatory reforms potentially supporting long-term U.S. Treasury demand.

GOVT: Put Defense On The Field, Tariffs Are Only A Piece Of The Puzzle
Tariffs aren't everything. We believe the U.S. is in late cycle growth and that isolated events such as an intensifying trade war merely accelerates a hard-ish landing argument. A myriad of reasons could explain the recent treasury bond performance-to-recession outlook decoupling. We maintain that the iShares U.S. Treasury Bond ETF can protect against risk in the longer term. Our outlook includes 10-year yields falling below 3% within the next 12 months, GOVT might benefit from such a scenario if it increases its effective duration while maintaining hybrid exposure.

GOVT: Inflation Indeed Here To Stay And Risks Anchoring Higher
The iShares U.S. Treasury Bond ETF offers low expense ratios and zero credit risk, but its duration is high. Expectations of inflation are high, a harbinger for higher inflation, reflective of aggregate decision making in anticipation of tariffs. Other parts of the US' current policy agenda are also additional sources of inflation.

GOVT: Diversification And A High Yield
GOVT offers broad exposure to Treasuries with low interest rate risk and at a low expense ratio of 0.05%. The ETF's performance is consistent with market reactions to the pandemic and the Fed's policies, making forward-looking assessments easier. Despite potential rate cuts, I expect a stable yield due to strong economic conditions, persistent inflation, and a currently cautious Fed.

Rates Spark: ECB Presser Bear-Flattened The Curve
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.
