NEGATIVE IMPACT
An increase in Treasury yields typically leads to a decrease in the price of long-term Treasury bonds, which could negatively impact the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT).
Higher Treasury yields generally result in lower bond prices, which would negatively affect TLT, an ETF that tracks long-term Treasury bonds.
