Despite $7 billion flowing into the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT), the fund has continued to decline due to rising Treasury yields, which push bond prices down, especially long-duration bonds like TLT. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas cautions investors to avoid buying the dip, noting that historically beaten-down bond picks often fall further and timing the bottom is difficult. While long Treasuries offer yields above 5.6%, the slide may continue before any rebound, making the trade risky. Investors should watch ongoing fund flows, Treasury yields, and bond fund stress to gauge future moves.
