Frequently Asked Questions
What factors could push TIPS (TIP) higher?▾
The primary drivers that tend to lift TIPS (TIP) depend on the current macro regime. iShares TIPS Bond ETF, inflation-protected Treasuries. Convex tracks these drivers live across the Bonds & Duration category and flags when multiple forces align in the same direction.

What factors could push TIPS (TIP) lower?▾
The same transmission channels that drive TIPS (TIP) higher operate in reverse when conditions flip. The risk drivers listed above map directly to scenarios that, if triggered, would pull this metric in the opposite direction. Convex aggregates these into a scenario-weighted probability distribution rather than a point forecast, so the magnitude depends on which scenarios activate.
Where does consensus see TIPS (TIP) heading?▾
Rather than publish a point target that goes stale the day after release, Convex assembles consensus from the macro regime classification, active scenario probabilities, and historical base rates. Point forecasts from banks and strategists are worth reading for context, but they typically cluster around the consensus and miss the tail events that actually move markets. The scenario-weighted approach here captures that tail risk explicitly.
