"Is there a vehicle, other than Futures, to short US Bonds, for example an ETF that you are aware of?"

Eoin Treacy's view Thank you for this question which others may also find of interest. The number and variety of ETFs has increased steadily over the last decade so there is an instrument that caters to just about every market scenario at this stage. The ProShares Short 20+ Yr Treasury Fund is a non leveraged ETF offering an inverse return to long-dated Treasuries. There are also a number of leveraged funds.
