RealClearMarkets/Ben Carlson/8-25-2022
“The problem in 2022 is TIPS are acting more like a bond than an inflation hedge.”
USAGOLD note: An interesting short study on why TIPS might not be all they’re cracked up to be as an inflation hedge…… There’s this problem, as Carlson goes to lengths to explain, that the bond market does what it wants to do for reasons of its own that may or may not have to do with the inflation rate.
