Investors are favoring short-term bond ETFs amid market volatility, according to CNBC. Flows into ultrashort Treasury products, such as SGOV and BIL, have surpassed $25 billion in 2025. Analysts warn that long-duration bonds are underperforming and advise sticking to maturities of seven years or less. The 3-month T-Bill yields above 4.3%, while the 10-year sits around 4.4%. Berkshire Hathaway now holds 5% of all short-term Treasuries. ETF strategists highlight that bond volatility, especially in the 20-year, has risen due to stalled Fed cuts, inflation concerns, and deficit pressures.
