Barclays strategist said in a report that the bank still recommends investors to buy five-year US Treasury bonds in preparation for the Fed rate cut. Barclays advises investors to re-establish long positions in five-year US Treasury bonds in mid-April, but after the tariff announcement on April 2, investors have turned neutral due to repricing and higher uncertainty. Barclays stated: "The moderate tariff rhetoric has calmed the market, but the outcome of the negotiations is still highly uncertain, which in itself puts pressure on the outlook." Another reason to buy these bonds is Barclays' doubt about whether the US can avoid an economic recession this year, which increases the rationale for the Fed rate cut.
