How TIPS Are Beating the Inflation Slowdown

Episode 55 of Inflation and Your Money with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna break down why Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities are surging as CPI stays stubborn. With the 10-year breakeven inflation rate at 2.32% and May CPI rising to 334.0, Lucas explains the mechanics of TIPS and how they outperform conventional bonds when inflation doesn't cool as expected. He walks through a specific example: a $10,000 TIPS purchase from January 2026, showing the inflation-adjusted principal and coupon. Luna questions whether TIPS are still worth it after taxes, and Lucas admits the tax drag is real but argues the inflation guarantee still beats nominal Treasuries for certain portfolios. They also touch on the Fed's rate pause at 3.62% and what it means for real yields. No clickbait, just a clear, practical look at a classic inflation hedge. #TIPS #TreasuryInflationProtectedSecurities #CPI #Inflation #BreakevenInflation #RealYields #FedRatePause #TreasuryBonds #PortfolioHedge #InflationHedge #PersonalFinance #Investing #Bonds #FixedIncome #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Finance #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
