SCHQ: Favorable Outlook For Long-Term Treasuries In 2026

The Schwab Long-Term U.S. Treasury ETF has delivered robust returns so far in 2025, benefitting from attractive current yields and capital gains amid falling interest rates. Looking ahead to 2026, I see room for further gains, as Fed rate cuts should more than offset a small acceleration in U.S. economic momentum. SCHQ may also provide trading opportunities for more proactive investors, as was the case in April 2025.

SCHQ: The Long Duration Engine

Schwab Long-Term U.S. Treasury ETF offers low-cost exposure to long-maturity U.S. Treasuries, tracking the Bloomberg US Long Treasury Index. SCHQ provides attractive current income due to elevated long-end yields, but its long duration makes it sensitive to rising rates and curve steepening. Recent yield curve dynamics show a bear steepening, increasing risk for SCHQ as the long end rises faster than the 10-year segment.

What's Going On With Treasury Rates?

We think the Fed has time to assess the impact of tariffs, and we expect it to wait to cut rates until the data show that tariffs are impacting the real economy. So far, there are no signs of recession in the hard data. The tariff pause offers the possibility to avoid worst-case economic scenarios before the damage is crystalized. We believe technical factors will continue to drive market dislocations in spreads and sectors, and that active managers can navigate this more effectively.
