High for longer with the Fed likely to err on the side of caution isn't going to be great for TIPs, even relative to unindexed bonds when inflation starts falling. A possible area where TIP would do well is if there's a credit event in commercial real estate that forces the Fed to consider its growth mandate more. However, how a credit event would ripple through the economy is almost impossible to predict, where the impact on the wider economy would be a factor for TIP performance.

TIPs, or treasury-inflation protected securities, typically offer a yield of 2.5% plus inflation and are predicted to perform better than regular treasuries when inflation rates exceed 2.4%. Given the current inflation rate of 3.0% and no indication of a decrease, TIPs appear to be a more favorable option compared to traditional treasuries at the moment.

A potential trigger for a recovery in inflation expectations could be a rebound in oil prices, which are yet to join in the risk rally.
