I came across an article from Market Watch tweeted by Ben Eisen on Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS).
TIPS protect against inflation. The article goes on to say TIPS have stabilized this year amid rising inflation. If CPI keeps climbing, TIPS look more attractive and could see growing demand.
TIPS are leading the way in a market that's decided to ignore Yellen's inflation remarks http://t.co/zA7WFrAV1w pic.twitter.com/goutcLcyxU

The interesting item that struck me was Fed Chairman Yellen shrugging off a recent rise in inflation. Apparently no big deal. Let's hope.
