1402 GMT - HSBC sees value in long-dated U.S. inflation-protected Treasurys, or TIPS, strategist Dhiraj Narula says in a note. Yields on TIPS are now at multi-decade highs. "The surge in real rates in recent weeks notably contrasts with the collapse in inflation breakeven spreads, which have remained low despite the uptick in oil prices amid renewed geopolitical tensions in the Middle East," the strategist says. The key reason for this is the more decisive messaging on price stability from several Federal Reserve members, emphasising a commitment to the 2% inflation target, he says. HSBC maintains a neutral duration--a measure of a bond's sensitivity to interest-rate changes--position on nominal U.S. Treasurys. (emese.bartha@wsj.com)
