Trade idea

TLT bearish option trade

If inflation remains sticky and long-term yields stay elevated, a bearish option trade in TLT is a valid strategy. This is because TLT is inversely correlated with bond yields, and a short position in TLT would benefit from rising yields. The speaker suggests that ZB or ZN are cleaner alternatives, but TLT is still a viable option for smaller positions.
