Net short bets <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/03/31519408/long-term-treasuries-suffer-worst-day-in-2023-as-markets-rethink-fed-policy-path">against U.S. treasuries have</a> reportedly risen to the highest level in last one year in the week ending last Tuesday.
What Happened: According to the latest report from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, net-short leveraged fund positions in 10-year futures rose by almost 150,000 contracts in the week to last Tuesday, marking the biggest bearish shift since March 2022, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-04-10/hedge-funds-rushed-to-short-treasuries-in-time-for-payrolls-beat">reported</a> Bloomberg.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-invest-in-startups">How To Invest In Startups</a>
Fast-money funds appear to be temporarily entering into bets against longer-dated bonds after taking hits during the recent banking crisis volatility when they took positions expecting a sell-off in shorter maturities, the report said.
On Friday, treasury yields rose after U.S. labor data increased expectations <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/23/04/31672653/federal-reserves-loretta-mester-expects-likelihood-of-more-rate-hikes-heres-why">that the Federal Reserve</a> will hike rates in May by 25 basis points. The Labor Department reported the U.S. economy added 236,000 jobs in March, just shy of economist <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31714148/s-p-500-volatility-continues-as-investors-digest-latest-labor-market-data">estimates of 240,000 new jobs</a>.
Rate Path: Traders are currently betting the central bank will hike rates again in May as the U.S. economy is indicating resilience despite the crisis in the banking sector, the report said. The CME FedWatch Tool shows 66% probability of a 25 bps rate hike in the next policy.
The 10-year note yielded 3.37% during Monday morning Asian trade, up from Friday's low of 3.25%. The ProShares Ultra 20+ Year Treasury (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBT#NYSE">UBT</a>) gained over 6.5% in last five days while the Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BND#NASDAQ">BND</a>) rose over 1% during the period.
Expert Take: Goldman Sachs Group analysts, including Praveen Korapaty, wrote in a note that although U.S. yields bounced following the jobs report, they remain below levels from the prior week, leaving room for more upward repricing, according to the Bloomberg report.
"The mix of March data thus far should solidify the case for a hike at the upcoming May FOMC meeting," they wrote.
ANZ Research said in a note that the Fed's update to its inflation forecast in March looks underdone. "The Fed has consistently underestimated inflation in recent times. There is no reason to think it hasn't done so again, especially if financial conditions settle down quickly following the collapse of a few U.S. banks," it said.

Maryland-based ProShares, the largest issuer of inverse and leveraged ETFs and sixth-largest U.S. issuer overall, announced share splits for six of its funds and reverse splits for 11 of its products.

ProShares will split four of its ETFs on a 2-for-1 basis. Those funds are as follows: The ProShares Ultra QQQ (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/qld#NYSE">QLD</a>), the double-leveraged equivalent of the PowerShares QQQ (Nasdaq: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/qqq#Nasdaq">QQQ</a>), the ProShares UltraPro QQQ (Nasdaq: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/tqqq#Nasdaq">TQQQ</a>), which is the triple-leveraged answer to QQQ, the ProShares Ultra 20+ Year Treasury (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/ubt#NYSE">UBT</a>) and the ProShares Ultra 7-10 Year Treasury (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/ust#NYSE">UST</a>).

All splits will apply to shareholders of record as of the close of the markets on May 8, 2012, payable after the close of the markets on May 10, 2012, the firm said. Tickers and CUSIPs will remain the same.

Six bearish ProShares funds will be split on a 1-for-4 basis. They are as follows: The ProShares UltraShort Brazil (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/bzq#NYSE">BZQ</a>), the ProShares UltraShort Dow30 (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/dxd#NYSE">DXD</a>), the ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ (Nasdaq: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/sqqq#Nasdaq">SQQQ</a>), the ProShares UltraPro Short MidCap400 (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/smdd#NYSE">SMDD</a>), the ProShares UltraShort Consumer Services (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/scc#NYSE">SCC</a>) and the ProShares UltraShort Russell1000 Growth (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/sfk#NYSE">SFK</a>).

PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund

ETFs to Watch November 10, 2011

Standard and Poor's downgrades the federal government's AAA credit status to AA+ and what happens? Money stampedes into Treasuries.

This must make some investors scratch their heads and wonder how on earth 30-year yields could sink even after a downgrade of US debt.

Investors only need to look back to 2008 for the answer.

Treasuries soared during the financial meltdown in late 2008, and with the S&amp;P 500 Index having its worst downturn since then, it should come as no surprise that Treasuries are spiking once again.

The global equity markets have lost almost <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-08-11/european-stocks-u-s-futures-rally-with-metals-as-treasuries-franc-drop.html">$8 trillion</a> in value since near the end of July. US stocks are the cheapest they have been in nearly 2 and a half years and still investors are clamoring for Treasuries and shunning shares of companies.

In times of trouble, investors still run to Treasuries for protection. Old habits die hard.

Some market commentators are saying that now is the time to short Treasuries. Yields cannot go any lower and are sure to rise, they say. Many of these commentators have been repeating themselves for years now. They have only been successful in losing money for anyone who has been foolish enough to listen.

The iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/tlt#NYSE">TLT</a>), an ETF that seeks results corresponding to the price and yield performance of the US Treasury market as defined by the Barclays Capital 20+ Year Treasury Index, is up over 7% in the last five trading sessions and over 14% in the past month. This is in stark contrast to the S&amp;P 500 Index, which is down over 13% in the last five session and over 16% in the past month.

Treasuries are down for the first time in four days ahead of a $16 billion sale today. This could be the perfect time to buy Treasuries if you see more pain ahead.

ACTION ITEMS:
 Bullish:
 
Traders who believe Treasury yields will continue to fall might want to consider the following trades:
 

<ul><li> iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/tlt#NYSE">TLT</a>)</li></ul>

<ul><li> ProShares Ultra 20+ Year Treasury (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/ubt#NYSE">UBT</a>)</li></ul>

Bearish:
 
Traders who believe that Treasury yields have hit bottom and are going to rise, may consider these alternate positions:
 

<ul><li> ProShares Short 20+ Year Treasury (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/tbf#NYSE">TBF</a>)</li></ul>

<ul><li> ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/tbt#NYSE">TBT</a>)</li></ul>
