3 Long-Duration Treasury ETFs to Watch if Rates Fall
Long-duration U.S. Treasury bonds have had a tough time amid inflation, interest rate activity, and yields that have risen dramatically since a pandemic-era low point. While the consensus view may be that long bonds like this are risky, contrarian investors can argue that long-duration Treasury bond exchange-traded funds (ETFs) may offer asymmetric upside if inflation fears diminish and rates normalize once again.
Endeavour Mining delivers Q1 beat on lower costs, higher output: Jefferies
Endeavour Mining PLC (LSE:EDV, TSX:EDV, OTCQX:EDVMF, FRA:6E2) delivered a strong start to 2026, according to Jefferies, which highlighted a first quarter “fundamental beat” driven by better-than-expected production and lower costs, alongside a transition to a net cash position. Jefferies said adjusted earnings of $1.53 per share exceeded both its $1.27 estimate and the consensus of $1.43, supported by materially lower operating costs and depreciation than expected.
EDV: A +5.1% Is Not Enough For Me To Justify A 3.3x Sensitivity
Vanguard Extended Duration Treasury Index ETF has a 5.1% yield to maturity but carries extreme duration risk and high rate sensitivity. EDV's structural bias towards maximum duration results in a permanent ~24-year duration, amplifying its beta to 3.46 versus the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Current yield premium over peers like TLT and VGLT is minimal, making EDV's added price sensitivity unjustified in today's rate environment, in my opinion.
