USIG: Inflation Expectations Are Rising, Bearish On Duration Bets
The iShares Broad USD Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF has high duration, making it vulnerable to rate risks, especially with volatile long-term rates due to inflation persistency concerns. Inflation expectations have risen significantly, likely linked to tariff concerns which really matter for the US as the world's consumer market. Inflation expectations are by far the most important causative factor for realised inflation, and they are significantly higher now than for most of 2024.

USIG: Corporate Bonds Are Not Appealing At Current Spread Levels
The iShares Broad USD Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF is a fixed-income ETF with $10.8 billion in AUM. The fund primarily invests in single-A and triple-BBB corporate investment grade bonds. Currently, interest rates (risk-free rates) are high but expected to stay that way due to inflation concerns. Credit spreads (risk premium) are conversely very tight, near historic lows.
