<2> Not all Treasurys are a reliable haven for investors right now, BlackRock bond chief Rick Rieder says
<3> Volatility in the U.S. bond market is picking up this month, with some investors questioning whether Treasurys can broadly — and reliably — provide a safe haven in times of tumult.
<4> As the global economy continues to navigate the challenges of inflation, recession, and geopolitical tensions, investors are increasingly looking to Treasurys as a safe-haven asset class. However, according to Rick Rieder, BlackRock’s chief investment officer for global fixed income, not all Treasurys are created equal.
<5> “We’re seeing a lot of volatility in the U.S. bond market right now,” Rieder said in an interview with Bloomberg. “Some investors are questioning whether Treasurys can provide a safe haven in times of tumult.”
<6> Rieder pointed out that while high-quality, long-term Treasurys can still provide a relatively stable source of returns, other types of Treasurys may not be as reliable. For example, short-term Treasurys, which are often used as a liquidity tool, can be more vulnerable to interest rate fluctuations.
