I’m staying cautious on long-duration bonds for now. A 30-year yield above 5.3% is attractive, but oil prices, inflation concerns, weaker foreign demand and heavy Treasury supply could keep long-term yields elevated. I’d rather wait for more clarity from the Fed minutes and the Iran situation before locking in rates.

For my portfolio, higher yields also mean pressure on high-duration growth and AI stocks because future earnings are discounted at a higher rate. However, I don’t see this as a reason to abandon AI or semiconductors. I’d continue DCA selectively and keep some cash ready for further pullbacks.

For now, I prefer short-duration bonds or cash, while watching for signs that yields have peaked. If the 30-year moves significantly higher but inflation starts cooling, I’d be more comfortable gradually adding long-duration exposure.

    Supply pressure is still the cleaner catalyst here. Next refunding announcement probably matters more near term than Iran, and long end can stay sticky even if inflation cools a bit
