New 10-Year TIPS Will Auction July 20; Is It Worth A Look?

Posted on July 18, 2017 by Tipswatch

Summary

  • This new TIPS could have the highest real yield since January 2016, but keep an eye on yield trends – they have been falling.
  • The current inflation breakeven rate of 1.78% makes this TIPS attractive versus nominal Treasurys.
  • A reason to celebrate? Possibly.

I’m sorry — I have been on vacation this week in rural Wisconsin and had extremely limited Internet! I wrote an article on Sunday for SeekingAlpha.com, but once it was published I was in the dead zone. As of the close Tuesday, it was looking like this new TIPS could go off at 0.50% or lower, and I am losing interest … Keep an eye out, though.
