TLT

The Bureau of Labor Statistics' September jobs report exceeded expectations, leading to a surge in non-farm payrolls and an upward revision of August's figures. This caused Treasury yields to rise significantly and the iShares 20+ Year Treasury ETF (NASDAQ:TLT) to fall by 1.2%. Economists believe this increases the likelihood of another interest rate hike before the end of the year and accelerates expectations of rate hikes into 2024.
