US Treasury yields rising; bond selloff likely.
He expects continued upward pressure on US Treasury yields and likely Treasury bond selling because record corporate bond issuance from Amazon, Nvidia, Google and others is reducing investor appetite for government bonds; the short end is already near 4.8-5%, and the crowding-out effect keeps Treasury funding under pressure until new demand, such as stablecoin-related buying, appears.

Stay defensive in September equity markets.
September is historically prone to volatility and weak/rangebound equity performance because of portfolio rebalancing after summer, an earnings season lull, and a history of Fed taper/rate decisions around September. With midterm elections still two months away, investors should stay conservative in September by securing liquidity and favoring dollar assets and short-term Treasuries over aggressive equity exposure.

Stay in short-duration Treasuries to avoid volatility.
US Treasury yields are expected to stay range-bound with ongoing volatility, so investors should stay on the shorter duration, such as four-year paper, to avoid long-end volatility.

Stablecoin-friendly Jackson Hole could lower yields.
Jackson Hole's official theme is payments. If policymakers voice support for stablecoins, stablecoin demand could become a structural buyer of short-term Treasuries. Even if that demand is not immediate, confirmation that the Fed and Treasury are cooperating to lower bond yields would likely push yields down because bond markets are highly sensitive.

Favor short-dated US Treasuries
Likes being in short-dated US Treasuries because there are concerns on the longer end, including US fiscal issues and Fed-related uncertainties; meanwhile the Fed is expected to stay on hold and data support that view.

Stay short duration, avoid long bonds
Yields are expected to stay elevated, and the long end of the curve could creep toward 5%. Bonds have not provided the historical diversification benefit during shocks. The portfolio is very short duration, and there is very little reason to add duration near term.

Rotate into gold and short-term Treasuries
The AI rally is a bubble – profit margins of the S&P 493 have flatlined, and the promised productivity gains haven't materialized. When earnings disappoint and demand destruction forces the Fed to cut, capital will rotate into defensive assets. Gold and short-term U.S. Treasuries will benefit as safe havens.

Buy Treasuries, short USD, long Yen.
With the Iran peace deal, hedge funds are dusting off the pre‑war playbook: buying short‑term Treasuries that were hit by rate hikes, shorting the dollar, and buying the yen as risk appetite returns.

Prefer short-duration bonds for now.
Due to fiscal deficit and inflation concerns, the bond market is under pressure, especially on the long end. Therefore, investors should prefer short-duration bonds to mitigate duration risk while still earning yield.

Short-term bonds rally if Strait reopens.
If the Strait of Hormuz reopens, there would be an initial overreaction correction in bond curves, leading to a rally in short-term yields, especially in Europe and the U.K., as inflationary expectations spike and then correct.

We're in essence, short duration... we don't think any more that there are going to likely be interest rate cuts. A 30% spike in oil prices acts as a tax on growth while simultaneously pushing headline inflation up by roughly 25 to 30 basis points. This stagflationary environment forces the Fed to abandon rate cuts, which destroys the value of long-duration bonds. Short-term Treasury bills provide a safe, high yield without the duration risk associated with sticky inflation and delayed central bank easing. If the energy shock causes a severe, immediate recession that destroys demand, the Fed may be forced to cut rates anyway, causing long-duration bonds to outperform cash.

"Where can you go? Right. You can go into dollar cash. You can't go into gold necessarily... Oil is extremely volatile... good safe haven feels like cash monitor and don't trade this market." Traditional safe havens are currently distorted: gold is priced to perfection, oil is too volatile due to geopolitical conflict, and long-duration treasuries are failing to act as reliable hedges. In a market where cross-asset correlations are broken and "nothing is where it should be," preserving capital via short-term T-bills or cash is the most prudent strategy. NEUTRAL stance on risk assets; hold cash equivalents (SHV/BIL) to observe the market with dry powder until clear trends and catalysts form. Missing out on a sudden risk-on rally if geopolitical tensions resolve unexpectedly or if central banks pivot dovish faster than anticipated.

"Take a look at the start of 2026, taking in over $100 billion just in the first two months of the year... it's the strongest start to a year in the data we have... Investors are leaning into high-quality income." Despite headline inflation noise and geopolitical volatility, institutional and retail money is aggressively front-running the fixed income market, locking in attractive yields in high-quality, short-duration, and inflation-protected bond ETFs. LONG. The unprecedented pace of inflows provides a strong technical floor for bond prices, while current yields offer an attractive risk-adjusted return against equity volatility. A massive resurgence in inflation forces the Fed to hike rates further, causing a duration selloff across the fixed income complex.

Hay argues that long-term US Treasuries are losing reserve status and face supply issues, but short-term T-bills are a valid "safe haven." In a volatile "Fourth Turning" environment, cash safety is paramount. Short duration avoids the duration risk of long bonds while providing yield. LONG Short-Term Treasuries (Cash equivalents). Reinvestment risk if rates are cut aggressively.

Contopoulos advises investors to be "Overweight shorter-duration assets, companies that pay dividends, value." With the 10-Year yield rising (prices falling) due to war-induced inflation, long-duration assets get crushed. Short duration (SHV) removes interest rate risk. Dividend growers (VIG) provide equity exposure with a cash-flow buffer that acts as an inflation hedge, unlike speculative growth stocks which rely on distant future cash flows. LONG Short-Duration Cash & Dividend Growth. Yields plummeting (bond rally) would cause short-duration cash to underperform long-duration bonds.

Pento states he is "overweight the short end of the Treasury yield curve" and holds cash. In a fragile "Sector 3" environment that could tip into "Sector 1" (deflation/crash), short-term treasuries offer yield without the duration risk of long bonds. They act as "dry powder" to deploy when asset prices eventually correct. LONG Short-Term Treasuries. Rapid rate cuts by the Fed in response to a crisis would lower yield, though capital would remain preserved.
