May's inflation data could bring Treasury bulls back into the fray. If the Fed has the signal they need to start easing monetary policy, then it could bring up the Direxion Daily 20+ Year Treasury Bull 3X Shares (TMF) and the Direxion Daily 7-10 Year Treasury Bull 3X Shares (TYD).
TMF is correlated with shorter-duration ETFs, meaning that it's affected by what's happening to oil prices, inflation outlook and conflict in the Middle East. Long-term risks include concerns over the USD's reserve currency status, which is reflected in long-term yields. Given heightened geopolitical risks and uncertain rate expectations, I do not view duration bets like TMF as attractive at this time.
Tariffs are roiling the major stock market indexes with volatility. So investors have been pouring into bonds to escape the turmoil.
