📊 Short Bonds
Treasury and bond inverse ETFs for rising rate environments
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Long-duration Treasury ETFs are highly sensitive to interest rate changes. A 1% rise in rates can cause 15-20% moves in long-term Treasury prices. Leveraged inverse products amplify this significantly.
