CleaRank Financial AI analysis of IEF
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
IEF, the iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF, gives a mixed trend reading. The price of $91.09 is 0.11% above its 50-day average of $90.99, yet 3.03% below its 200-day average of $93.94. Trading 2.76% above the 52-week low of $88.64 and 7.10% below the 52-week high of $98.05, the fund sits close to the bottom of its yearly range. The 50-day average is also 3.13% below the 200-day, so the averages still lag the price.
Recent gains sit against a weaker longer record: the price rose 1.21% over the past month, fell 2.64% over the past three months and fell 6.56% over the past year. The 14-day RSI of 60.8 is in the bullish zone, below the overbought line.
- Keep an eye on the two closest levels: the 200-day SMA at $93.94 overhead and the 50-day SMA at $90.99 underneath.
- The 14-day RSI reads 60.8, in the bullish zone; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
- Costs compound: at 0.15% a year, IEF charges $15.00 on every $10,000 invested.
The trend is mixed: IEF is above its 50-day average at $90.99 but below its 200-day average at $93.94. A close above the 200-day would turn both signals up, and a close below the 50-day would turn both down. The nearest levels are the 50-day SMA at $90.99 below and the 200-day SMA at $93.94 above.

IEF price prediction 2030
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in IEF, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 4-year Monte Carlo simulation, based on 10 years of price history, projects that a $10,000 investment in IEF today could grow to about $10,850 by 2030 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $12,874 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $9,143. The simulation models price only; at today's 4.14% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
IEF 2030 Scenarios (Monte Carlo)
The same simulation in prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $98.83 for IEF by 2030 in the base case, from $91.09 today (1.1x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $83.29. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on IEF's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
| Year | 10th percentile | Base case | 90th percentile | range base today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $85.34 | $92.97 | $101 | |
| 2028 | $84.07 | $94.88 | $107 | |
| 2029 | $83.50 | $96.83 | $112 | |
| 2030 | $83.29 | $98.83 | $117 |
