SHY: Major Macro Week Will Dictate The Path Of Interest Rates
I reiterate my Hold rating on iShares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF, as short-term rates are likely to remain steady amid moderate U.S. economic growth. The Fed is expected to keep rates unchanged this week, with market focus on statement language and potential dissents among FOMC members. Inflation appears contained, but long-term inflation expectations have ticked higher, impacting SHY's real yield outlook.
Caution Ahead: The Top Long Trade For 2025 - Cash!
2025 is likely to be a difficult year for the markets due to a possible recession, and geopolitical escalation. Thus, short-term cash investments, such as SHY, are expected to outperform the stock market indices across all factors. 12-month T-Bill yields 4.25%, SHY yield is 3.85%.
SHY: Short Duration Is In Again
Shorter duration ETFs are sensible right now due to potential inflationary effects from Trump's policies and rhetoric, which could lead to the need to keep rates higher than markets hope. SHY's moderate duration and expense ratio may not be optimal; as there are lower expense ratio, but similar duration ETFs like ISTB or even shorter duration ETFs like FLOT. Nonetheless, SHY at least somewhat addresses the thesis that higher for longer is more likely already, with Trump prepping America for what's to come under his administration.
