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.
