<h3>What changed</h3>
<p>Soft labor prints combined with Fed “patience” language reduced the probability of aggressive tightening. The market moved first — yields fell, breakevens dropped and TIPS repriced. That shift increases the expected present value of future cashflows and favors duration exposures while reducing compensation for inflation risk.</p>
<h3>Why it matters</h3>
<p>Real yields drive equity multiple expansion, EM FX flows, and fixed-income relative value. When real yields fall, growth assets (long-duration tech, names dependent on low rates) typically benefit. Conversely, a rapid re-steepening or an inflation surprise would reverse positions quickly — risk management is essential.</p>
<h3>How I’m positioned (concise)</h3>
<p>- Tactical bias: modest long in 7–10y nominal Treasuries and selective TIPS on pullbacks. Size: 1–2% of portfolio risk allocation per trade idea, tightened stops.
- Triggers: add into daily closes below the session VWAP and if 10Y breaches a defined technical support zone near recent lows (watch for 10–15 bps follow-through).
- Exits: trim on 10Y yield spike +12–15 bps or if 5y breakeven rises >10 bps intraday (inflation regime shifts).</p>
<h3>Risk notes</h3>
<p>Inflation data or surprise hawkish Fed commentary can snap real yields higher. Options and flows can exaggerate moves — keep position sizing limited and use alerts for real-time repricing.</p>
