Market environment

  • Market sentiment improved significantly in June after the United States and Iran reached an interim agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, easing geopolitical tensions. The resulting decline in oil prices, with Brent crude falling to around USD 73 per barrel, eased stagflation concerns and supported global risk assets.
  • The Federal Reserve kept its policy rate unchanged at 3.50%-3.75% at its first meeting under Chairman Kevin Warsh. However, the updated dot plot and the Chair's less dovish-than-expected communication led markets to price further tightening by year-end, while US economic data continued to point to a resilient economy and persistent inflation.
  • Rate dynamics diverged across the Atlantic. In the US, the Treasury curve bear flattened, with the 2-year yield up 19bps versus 3bps for the 10-year. In contrast, the euro area experienced a bull flattening, with the German 2-year yield unchanged and the 10-year down 8bps. Credit markets remained resilient, with positive returns in European Investment Grade and High Yield despite modest cash spread widening, while the iTraxx Xover tightened by 14bps, outperforming cash markets.
  • Emerging debt extended its gains in June, supported by spread tightening despite higher US Treasury yields. Hard-currency sovereign bonds led performance, with high yield outperforming investment grade and Latin America leading regional returns. Local currency debt also posted positive returns, particularly in Latin America and EMEA, supported by lower oil prices and improving macro sentiment.
  • Emerging market currencies posted broadly positive returns in June. Asian currencies rebounded as easing Middle East tensions and lower oil prices supported net energy importers, while the Colombian peso was the standout performer. The Turkish lira and South African rand also gained, whereas the Chilean peso and Polish zloty lagged.

Performance commentary

  • Over the month, the Fund delivered a strong positive performance, outperforming its benchmark, with all performance drivers contributing positively, particularly local rates and foreign exchange.
  • Currencies were the main contributor to both absolute and relative performance in a supportive risk-on environment that benefited emerging market FX. Gains were broadly diversified across regions (EMEA, Asia and Latin America), with particularly strong contributions from the Colombian peso, Egyptian pound and Indian rupee.
  • Local currency debt also contributed positively to performance mainly driven by our long positions in Colombia, Poland and Hungary.
  • Hard currency debt made a modest positive contribution to performance, with positive contributions from our positions in Argentina, Türkiye and Côte d'Ivoire. These gains were partly offset by our credit hedges, particularly our CDS position on Colombia, as credit spreads tightened following the announcement of the US-Iran agreement.

Outlook strategy

  • Against a backdrop of easing inflationary pressures, supported by lower energy prices, we increased the portfolio's duration from 4.9 to 6.6, mainly through local currency debt. Having tightened policy ahead of developed markets, EM central banks now have greater flexibility to pause or ease, reinforcing our constructive view on local rates. We also remain highly constructive on hard currency credit and EM currencies.
  • In local currency debt, we increased exposure across Eastern Europe, notably Poland and the Czech Republic, as well as Latin America through Colombia and Mexico. Lower oil prices and still-elevated local bond yields continue to provide an attractive backdrop for yield compression and compelling risk-adjusted opportunities.
  • We maintained exposure to inflation-linked strategies through bonds in Mexico and Poland, as well as European breakevens, as a hedge against potential second-round inflationary effects.
  • In currencies, we maintained around 30% exposure to the euro with no exposure to the US dollar, favoring instead EM currencies, on which we remain highly constructive. During the month, we added exposure to undervalued Asian oil-importing currencies, notably the Indian rupee, Indonesian rupiah and Malaysian ringgit, while maintaining significant positions in the Brazilian real, Chilean peso and Colombian peso.
