通货膨胀保值债券(Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities or TIPS),是一种由美国政府发行的国债。TIPS的最大特点是能够消除发行国(美国)国内通货膨胀风险,以锁定实际收益率。通货膨胀保值债券本金与通货膨胀率挂钩,本金部分随通货膨胀指数进行调整,按固定票面利率计算的利息将随本金变动而变动。
The US Treasury Department sold $8 billion in 30-year TIPS on Monday at a yield of 2.229%, a little higher than the new securities were trading earlier in the session. As the first sale of 30-year TIPS in nine years, there are few comparisons to gauge how strong demand was for the new security. Bidders offered to buy 2.45 times the amount of debt being sold. Indirect bidders, a class of investors that includes foreign central banks, purchased 42.4% of the offering.
