“Sell the two… Utah! Sell the two!”
I’ve parroted my bond outlook during internal meetings and across our Slack channels in recent weeks, partly in jest but mostly to highlight the underlying uptrend in rates.
Honestly, I’m not crazy about selling the short end of the curve, though I believe there’s a trade there.
Instead, there are far better opportunities with longer-duration bonds.
Shorting bonds isn’t the most popular play with the Fed and the dollar and the CPI…
But that makes me like this trade even more, especially when I put the headlines and the dominant narrative aside and simply focus on the charts…
