Lucas and Luna examine why traditional bond laddering is losing its inflation protection edge in June 2026. With the 10-year breakeven inflation rate rising to 2.31 percent and the Fed holding rates near 3.63 percent, laddered portfolios of short-term Treasuries are earning negative real returns. The hosts walk through a concrete example: a $50,000 ladder earning 4.2 percent nominal but losing purchasing power at 5.1 percent trailing inflation. They discuss alternatives like TIPS laddering and I-bond rolling strategies, referencing the latest CPI reading of 334.0. A practical guide for income-focused investors trying to beat inflation without reaching for risk. #Inflation #BondLadder #FixedIncome #TIPS #IBonds #Treasuries #RealReturns #PurchasingPower #FederalReserve #CPI #BreakevenInflation #IncomeInvesting #Bonds #PersonalFinance #Investing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Finance Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
