How about if you own the older 30-year I-bonds with the higher interest payments? Might not the scarcity value of 30-year bonds (now that the government is dropping those), plus the locked-in higher basic interest rate, make them attractive for secondary purchasers? In fact, I think this has already happened. The TIAA inflation-linked bond fund was up 1.3 % yesterday, which is a big one-day jump for a bond fund. And it's up 11.45% since the start of the year.
