Market environment

  • The US Federal Reserve proceeded with a third 25 bps rate cut in 2025 at its December meeting, but with a much less dovish tone, as policymakers appear increasingly divided on the roadmap for 2026 amid persistent inflation and solid economic momentum.
  • U.S. economic data remained mixed but broadly supportive. Inflation surprised on the dovish side, with November CPI easing to 2.7% YoY, though underlying details pointed to data distortions rather than a clear disinflation trend. The labor market stayed resilient, with low jobless claims and solid private sector employment, despite a gradual rise in the unemployment rate to 4.5%. Growth remained strong, with Q3 GDP revised up to 4.3% annualized, driven by consumer spending.
  • In the euro area, the ECB kept its policy rates unchanged while revising upwards its projections for growth and inflation, with headline and core inflation now expected to reach 2.0% in 2028. Inflation surprised slightly to the upside, with headline inflation at 2.2% YoY and core inflation remaining sticky. Activity indicators improved over the period, with retail sales, German industrial production, and PMI surveys surprising to the upside.
  • Globally, Japan remained a key driver of market dynamics. The Bank of Japan raised its policy rate to 0.75%, the highest level in 30 years, triggering a sharp rise in Japanese yields and adding pressure on global rates.
  • In this context, both the US and German yield curves steepened in December, as sovereign bond yields moved higher, with the German 10-year yield rising by 17 basis points and its U.S. counterpart by 15 basis points. Credit markets performed well despite spreads already at very tight levels, with the iTraxx Xover tightening by 11 bps over the month.

Performance commentary

  • Over the month, the fund delivered a negative performance, outperforming its reference indicator.
  • Regarding interest rate strategies, in a context of broadly rising yields, the portfolio benefited from its short positions in French, Japanese and US rates, while long positions in German rates weighed on performance. In emerging markets, the portfolio also benefited from its exposure to Eastern European countries as well as South Africa.
  • Our credit exposure contributed positively, driven by our selection of hard-currency emerging market debt, while corporate bonds were broadly neutral.
  • Finally, our currency strategies detracted from performance during the month, mainly due to our long positions in the Japanese yen, the US dollar and the Brazilian real.

Outlook strategy

  • In a context of persistent uncertainty, characterized by end-of-cycle valuations, ongoing trade tensions, fiscal stimulus in major economies and monetary policies expected to remain accommodative, we maintain a moderate modified duration of around 3.1, mainly concentrated in emerging market debt, while remaining cautious on core rates.
  • Regarding interest rates, we remain short on US rates and long on breakeven inflation, as market expectations for rate cuts appear overly optimistic while the economy remains resilient and inflation stays above target. In Europe, we are buyers at the short end, as the market no longer prices further cuts, and remain short on France due to political and budgetary risks. We initiated a short position on UK rates amid concerns over budget slippage and maintain our short stance on Japanese rates, where inflation is rising alongside significant fiscal stimulus. Finally, we remain selective on local emerging market rates, which continue to offer attractive real yields, particularly in Brazil and parts of Eastern Europe.
  • In spread product, we maintain significant exposure, particularly to hard-currency emerging market debt that should continue to benefit from strong carry, improving fundamentals with rating upgrades, moderating inflation, capital flows and Fed easing. However, given tight valuations, we stay cautious and maintain high protection via iTraxx Xover to hedge potential spread widening.
  • On currencies, we maintain a limited USD exposure, reflecting the Fed’s easing bias. Our selection includes Latin American currencies (Brazilian real, Mexican and Chilean pesos) and commodity-linked currencies (Australian dollar, Norwegian krone). We also maintain a long position in the Japanese yen, as the Bank of Japan is expected to continue its monetary normalisation amid inflationary pressures.
