Summary We don’t see major central bank rate cuts this year, so we prefer to earn income in short-term bonds, high-grade credit and agency mortgage-backed securities. U.S. stocks rose and Treasury yields were mostly steady. U.S. Q4 GDP was resilient but declining consumer spendin...
Summary 2022 has been a volatile year for credit markets, but a closer inspection highlights some striking differences. Yields on EM HY reached much higher levels (close to 14% at its peak), and spiked much faster, than their Euro and US equivalents, which peaked at around 9% in Q4 2022...
Summary Markets may be underestimating the stickiness of inflation and central banks’ determination to beat it - and what that means for growth and corporate earnings potential. We favor fixed income and credit over equities, and investment grade over high yield. Should infla...
Summary After trading with a positively sloped curve through the first half of 2022, the yields on 6-month, 12-month, and 2-year Treasuries began to converge in late July/early August. In November, the 2-year yield started to drift lower, while yields on the 6-month and 12-month held fi...
Summary Recession foretold in developed markets (DM), a pause in central bank rate hikes and China’s reopening help shape 2023 and reinforce our tactical views. European equities led DM stocks higher. Surprisingly weak U.S. services data spurred bets for Federal Reserve rate cuts...

Summary A historic 2022 taught us to widen the lens of possible scenarios, factor in geopolitical risk and use a new playbook for more frequent portfolio changes. Global stocks ended the year down 18%, while bonds fell 16%. This marked the biggest market storm in decades amid inflation ...
Summary Rate hikes and tighter financial conditions drove fixed-income returns lower in 2022. The broad repricing of bonds and the higher starting yields we have now can help insulate investors from further losses. If we look at international bonds, this is probably the first ...
Summary The pain in bond-land is palpable. The IGSB ETF is now more oversold than either the 2008 or 2020 lows. The 10-year Treasury yield closed at 4.12% today, despite Powell’s rhetoric from last night. In this post from Tuesday night, the relative attra...
Summary This year’s sharp rise in treasury yields creates an attractive opportunity in short-term bonds heading into 2023 as the Fed slows the pace of rate hikes. We favor transitioning from floating-rate notes to fixed-rate notes going into 2023 now that interest rates hav...
