Anyone know of a good way to play the next rise in interest rates? Long bond edging down towards 4.8% and I really expect a significant pop in interest rates by mid-year to at least 5.25-5.30%. I'm looking at RRPIX ProFunds Rising Rates Opp Inv and RYJUX Rydex Juno Investor. RYJUX gives you 100% of the INVERSE move of the latest 30-yr Bond while RRPIX gives you 125% of the 30-yr bond move thru leverage. I would like to play a rise in short-term rates but these two using long rates are all I have found. Any other ideas? Not interested in futures. These two seem like reasonably low-risk plays since just a return to 5% long bond would provide an approx 3% return and beat money-market returns as an alternative for parking cash.
