Playing interest rates via the stock market
On Friday I wrote on my other blog about Playing for a rise in interest rates. There are plenty of ETFs out there that would allow one to play the bond market as a holder (meaning wanting rates to fall, bonds rise). There aren’t that many which allow you to play for a rise in rates, but I found one that was interesting. It could be used as a straight out interest rate play, or in combination with something like a corporate bond index ETF to create a proxy for the spread between Treasury and Corporate rates.
