Don't Dump the TLT Just Yet, Treasurys Could Still Head Higher

U.S. Treasury yields are still high compared to most European sovereign bonds so the iShares 20+ Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) could still appreciate in 2015, said Matt Tucker, Head of Fixed Income Strategy at iShares. Tucker added that investors who believe the TLT is overvalued can opt for the highly diversified iShares Core Total USD Bond Market ETF (IUSB) instead. He said municipal bonds are still attractive on a tax-adjusted basis. Finally, Tucker said high yield may have fallen with energy, but it will likely rebound as oil stabilizes and investors once again seek yield for their portfolios.
