The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) has dropped to $79.42, less than half its August 2020 peak of around $179, due to rising long-term Treasury yields and Federal Reserve rate hikes. Retail investors betting on a rate reversal have faced losses as yields on 20- and 30-year Treasuries climbed above 5.4%, pushing prices down. While TLT offers a high distribution yield near 4%, its price remains vulnerable to further rate increases, making it a risky bet unless long-term yields fall below 5%. The fund suits investors making a deliberate rate call rather than those seeking safe income, as current inflation and Treasury supply trends suggest a prolonged period of higher rates.
TLT is trading at USD 79.32 on Pluang, near its 52-week low of USD 79.32, showing a slight 1-day decline of 0.13%. The fund's market cap stands at $44.70 billion, with a typical hold time of 82 days among investors. These figures are current as of Sep 28, 2026 01:31 WIB.
