BOND ETF

Short Bond ETF

If you ever wondered how to short bonds in an ETF then you will be glad to know that there are currently several short bond ETFs. "Short" here does not refer to the duration of the bond (short-term) but rather the fact that it is a bearish or inverse bond ETF or exchange traded fund.

The current inverse bond ETFs available are mostly short treasury ETFs but they include an inverse high yield bond etf and they are issued by either ProShares or Direxion. The short treasury ETFs go up in price whenever Treasury Bonds go down in price and vice versa. There are also double and triple short bond ETFs that move inverse to the index they mimic in a 2 or 3 times multiple of the daily moves of that index. If you think there is a treasury bond bubble then the short treasury exchange traded funds below may provide you the tools to execute your trading plan.
