Inflation ETF (RINF) Hits New 52-Week High
For investors seeking momentum, Inflation Expectations ETF (RINF) is probably on radar. The fund just hit a 52-week high and is up 23.2% from its 52-week low price of $28.84/share.
But are more gains in store for this ETF? Let’s take a quick look at the fund and the near-term outlook on it to get a better idea of where it might be headed:
RINF in Focus
ProShares Inflation Expectations ETF seeks to mitigate the risk of rising rates through a built-in interest rate hedge using U.S. Treasury futures. It offers a portfolio of 30-year Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) bonds by tracking the performance of the FTSE 30-Year TIPS (Treasury Rate-Hedged) Index. ProShares Inflation Expectations ETF charges 30 bps in annual fees.
Why the Move?
The inflation ETF has been an area to watch lately given that inflation is not showing any sign of slowing down. The red-hot inflation pushed up chances of the Federal Reserve’s 75 bps interest rate hike next month. As such, RINF is gaining strength on further rate hike expectations.
More Gains Ahead?
Currently, RINF might remain strong given a positive weighted alpha of 17.20. As a result, there is definitely still some promise for investors who want to ride on this surging ETF.
