MM view on $US bond ETFs

Hi James and the Team,

I have just renewed my subscription as your insights have greatly improved my investment returns over the last two years. My question for now is: Your reports are now indicating that you are looking to move to US$ Bond ETFs. Can you please include in your commentary if there are equivalent US$ Bond ETFs listed on the ASX for those of us who do not have an International account.

Regards David

Answer

Hi David,

Thanks for renewing and the positive comments with regard to your performance, very much appreciated. Unfortunately the answer to your question is no hence we are considering the US ProShares Short 20+ Treasury ETF to play the view of rising longer dated bond yields in the US. MM likes the TBF US ETF in the $US17 region, and we are planning to add it back into the MM ETF Portfolio.

The Match Out: Middle East tensions see risk off for equities

Shares tracked pre-market futures lower early in our session before headlines of a further escalation in the Middle Eastern conflict caused another wave of selling took the market to 2 month lows. Energy found support with oil cracking $US90/bbl again which was also a concern for those positioned for inflation to roll off. Until midday, traders had no interest in taking risk in today’s session but the afternoon painted a different picture. The ASX closed well off the intraday lows with many sectors rallying more than 0.5% between midday and the end of trade. Despite the Friday afternoon fight, the local market had its worst week since September, falling -220pts / -2.83%.
