# Inflation spike drives surge in demand for I-bonds and TIPS

Why the rush?: A 3.8% annual inflation rate, outpacing wage growth, is eroding purchasing power and prompting a move into inflation-protected investments. What’s attractive now?: I-bonds offer a 4.26% rate until November, and TIPS ladders provide decade-high real yields of about 2.2%, both backed by the U.S. government. Who’s making changes?: Advisors are cutting discretionary spending and reallocating from low-yield cash to assets designed to preserve value during inflationary periods.
