About this episode

Inflation fears are back, with Treasury yields climbing sharply and markets now pricing in a potential Fed rate hike by 2027. This week on the Basis Points podcast, Kevin Flanagan explains why the “inflation trade” has taken hold and makes the case for Treasury Floating Rate Notes as a key defense in today’s bond market.
