Inflation Protected Bonds Murdered As PIMCO And BlackRock's Hyperinflation Fears Flounder

Investors are increasingly giving up on hyperinflation bets. For example, investors are willing to buy standard U.S. treasury bonds that pay just 3.69% yield. That doesn't leave room for much inflation...The niche market of Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS, bonds that adjust their yield to inflation) is giving up on its inflation concerns as well. As this market is too small for major central bank investment, it's far harder to argue away the lack of inflation it forecasts.

Quick Look at TIPS and Beyond

Brett Steenbarger, Ph.D.

U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIP; above) are making multi-month highs, amidst the weak dollar and strong gold. I've noticed a tick up in inflation talk among traders as well. With unemployment--not inflation--making the headlines, the Fed hardly has the political cover to begin serious talk of rate increases. With the Reserve Bank of Australia hiking rates, however, there are concerns that we are just a bit closer to the long-awaited exit from monetary ease. Meanwhile, higher Aussie rates only fuel the carry trade that has traders selling U.S. dollars and finding higher yielding alternatives elsewhere.
