The 10 year breakeven inflation rate is less than 3 percent.

Is it a perfect estimate of inflation? No.

But I would trust it more than hot takes from non experts.

Luckily, this is completely tradable, so if you believe that inflation is going to average 3% over the next 10 years you can buy all those treasuries and I can short all those treasuries and one of us will be rich and the other broke. Events will tell who is who.

Nobody buys treasuries to get rich.

If you bought some at >10% in the 80’s you did!
