With the ten-year Treasury yield holding near five percent and the two-year at four point seven six, investors are flocking to short-dated bills. But this episode explores the hidden liquidity trap in Treasury bill laddering. Lucas and Luna break down how rolling over ninety-day and one-hundred-eighty-day notes exposes portfolios to rapid reinvestment risk when the Fed Funds rate is stuck at three point eight eight. They examine why the spread between short-term bills and long-term bonds has narrowed to just twenty basis points, creating a false sense of security for fixed-income managers who think they are hedging against volatility.
