iShares International Treasury Bond ETF Price & Performance (IGOV)

Treasury ETFs have gained traction as fears of economic slowdown and tariffs intensify. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) saw significant inflows, reflecting a shift to safer assets. Economic indicators like the Composite PMI Output Index and consumer sentiment have weakened, further fueling demand for these defensive investments.12

Bitcoin has shown increased activity, with metrics like the RSI and NVT ratio highlighting potential undervaluation. Meanwhile, BlackRock's latest ETF filings signal a push towards active management, focusing on securitized assets and global government bonds. This aligns with growing demand for diversified and actively managed investment options.3
