TIP: The Paradox Of Rates And Inflation That The Market Likes

TIP is a tactical hedge with intermediate duration in times of uncertainty about the real risk premium in the bond market. TIP invests in TIPS through monthly rebalancing replication of the ICE U.S. Treasury Inflation Linked Bond Index. When the BEI rises, TIP tends to maintain a positive anchor in terms of return and remain competitive compared to the nominal yield of Treasuries.

TIP: Inflation Insurance

The iShares TIPS Bond ETF offers exposure to U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, providing a hedge against inflation and attractive real carry. TIP's performance is driven by real yields and inflation expectations, with current real yields near decade highs and breakevens stable around 2.2–2.4%. Market signals suggest inflation expectations remain anchored, making TIP sensitive to real rate movements and cyclical shifts rather than long-term inflation regime changes.

TIP: Trump Feud With Federal Reserve May Collapse Bond Market

I'm slightly bullish on TIP for the rest of 2025, as Fed policy shifts should lower real rates and reduce liquidity impacts of Fed tightening. TIP benefits from dovish Fed moves, but rising inflation expectations and bank and Treasury liquidity strains could undermine stability beyond 2025. A surge in Treasury issuance and low bank liquidity may force the Fed to resume quantitative easing, boosting TIP but destabilizing the dollar and promoting higher long-term inflation.

STIP ETF: Profit From TIPS Asymmetric Opportunity

STIP delivered close to a 9% gain since one year ago, surpassing my 5% total return prediction. The current setup offers an asymmetric opportunity for TIPS to profit from a higher-than-expected inflation outlook and monetary policy easing. I will maintain my hold rating on STIP shares due to the 8% return prospects in the coming 12-month horizon.

TIP: Real Yields And Breakevens Are In A Stalemate

The iShares TIPS Bond ETF is set to face an interesting period amid a recalibration in real and nominal yields. The ETF, which has an expense ratio of 0.18% and a 30-day SEC yield of 5.14%, invests in inflation-linked treasuries. We anticipate real yields to settle lower in the next six months. However, we think inflation and breakevens will fall in tandem, softening TIP ETF's return outlook.

No More TIP, The Paradox Of Break-Even Inflation

Break-even inflation is high, which makes it less attractive to set up positions in TIP, an ETF with maturities around 7 years. Even though TIP has withstood downward pressure better over the past year than non-indexed ETFs like TLH, which have durations of 10–20 years. I don't think the macro data suggest a potential inflation spike, which could make it more advantageous to shift toward other fixed income solutions.
