Summary
- I Bonds purchased from May 1 to October 31 will carry a composite rate of 2.52% annualized.
- Real yields have been rising, which supports the Treasury’s decision to increase the fixed rate to 0.30%, the highest rate reset since November 2009.
- A new I Bond buying strategy? In my opinion, the fixed rate of 0.30% is too attractive to pass up.
Looks like another good opportunity to build on the bond ladder portion of a portfolio for the middle-aged and trust…
