TFLO: Cash Is King In A Fragile Geopolitical Moment

The iShares Treasury Floating Rate Bond ETF (TFLO) is a near-zero duration, floating rate effective cash bet, offering safety from duration and equity risks. Current macro conditions—rising oil, fragile ceasefire, and inflation—favor cash-like positions such as TFLO or the slightly riskier FLOT over equities or long-duration bonds. Equity valuations, especially in US tech, are stretched with high PEs and concentrated performance, increasing vulnerability to cost of capital shocks from uncertain peace talks.
