Traders have invested $7 billion into the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) ahead of a Federal Reserve rate hike decision, hoping for a "jackpot mode" scenario where long-term yields drop significantly. This influx comes despite TLT's 35% loss over the past five years. The bet hinges on the idea that a hawkish rate hike could paradoxically lower long-term yields, making TLT profitable. Investors are closely watching the 30-year Treasury yield for validation of this strategy.
While traders are betting big on TLT, the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF is trading at $81.03 on Pluang, as of Sep 16, 2026 21:02 WIB. It has seen a 1-day change of +0.39%. Pluang data shows strong buying interest, with 95% of order activity for TLT being buy orders.
