Market environment

  • Hopes that the ceasefire between the United States and Iran would be extended continued to support market sentiment throughout May. This improvement in risk appetite was also reflected in commodity markets, with crude oil prices falling back below the USD 100 per barrel threshold.
  • On the macroeconomic front, US inflation accelerated at its fastest pace in three years, with the April PCE price index rising to 3.8% year-on-year, while core PCE inflation reached 3.3%.
  • At the same time, US PMI data remained supportive, particularly within the manufacturing sector, where the index surprised to the upside at 55.3. The strength was largely driven by inventory rebuilding as companies sought to mitigate potential disruptions to supply chains.
  • In contrast, leading indicators pointed to a slowdown in the euro area amid mounting inflationary pressures. The composite PMI index fell to 47.7, significantly below expectations and its lowest level in almost two and a half years. Meanwhile, preliminary inflation readings for May suggested a moderate acceleration in price pressures across France, Spain and Italy.
  • Rate dynamics diverged across the Atlantic. In the United States, the Treasury curve underwent a bear flattening, with the 2-year yield rising by 14bps compared with a 6bps increase in the 10-year yield. In contrast, euro area government bond yields moved lower, with both German 2-year and 10-year yields declining by 10bps. Risk appetite remained robust, driving a 33bps tightening in high-yield credit spreads, which fell below the levels prevailing prior to the outbreak of the Third Gulf War.

Performance commentary

  • The fund delivered a positive absolute return in May, although it underperformed its reference indicator in a risk-on market environment.
  • Our exposure to emerging market sovereign bonds and our rates overlay strategies were the main positive contributors to performance, while our credit default swap positions on high-yield indices were the only detractor.
  • During the month, we took profits on our short position in Japanese 10-year government bond yields and increased exposure to the 30-year segment, given the attractive level of real yields after the sharp sell-off.
  • Conversely, we tactically increased our exposure to the short end of the euro yield curve and added to our emerging markets allocation through a new position in Moroccan sovereign debt.

Outlook strategy

  • Despite elevated geopolitical uncertainty, markets continue to exhibit a notable degree of complacency with respect to both risk asset valuations and long-term inflation expectations.
  • Inflation dynamics remain skewed to the upside on both sides of the Atlantic, supported by US tariff and immigration policies, as well as ongoing energy market disruptions linked to tensions in the Middle East.
  • Although markets have substantially repriced the front end of yield curves in Europe and the United States, we believe the long end remains vulnerable to further adjustment. The continued deterioration in fiscal balances across developed economies should increasingly be reflected in higher term premia and, ultimately, higher long-term interest rates.
  • In this environment, we remain tactically constructive on the front end of the euro yield curve while maintaining short positions at the long end of both euro and US curves. We continue to hold a meaningful allocation to inflation-linked securities as a hedge against persistent inflationary pressures. Within credit, we favor overlay strategies targeting the high-yield segment, where current valuations appear vulnerable to a renewed widening in spreads.
