[Wells Fargo exits long U.S. 10-year Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities trading strategy] As the yield on U.S. 10-year Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) rose above 2.15%, Wells Fargo strategists withdrew from their August 21 recommendation on Monday. It recommends buying 10-year TIPS at an actual yield of 2%, with a target yield of 1.7% in the next two to three months and a stop loss of 2.15%.
