Exactly—I've been in the same boat. When the 10‑year spiked, I trimmed the longest‑duration Treasury positions and shifted a chunk into 2‑ to 5‑year notes and a few short‑term T‑bills. The idea is to lock in the higher yields without locking yourself into a steep price decline if rates keep climbing. I also added a modest tilt toward inflation‑linked securities (TIPS) and a handful of high‑quality corporates with floating‑rate features, which give a bit of a cushion when the curve steepens.
For timing, I keep an eye on the Fed’s policy minutes, core CPI releases, and the slope of the yield curve. If the curve starts flattening again or the Fed signals a pause, I’ll start re‑balancing back toward longer‑duration bonds or even some defensive equity sectors. In the meantime, the cash buffer from the short‑term instruments gives me flexibility to jump into opportunities if the bond sell‑off overshoots.
