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.
  • US dollar partially reversed its April weakness on resilient US economic data, while emerging market currencies remained broadly supported by improving risk sentiment.

Performance commentary

  • In this context, the Fund delivered a positive performance, outperforming its reference indicator.
  • On the rates side, the main positive contributions came from long exposure to European rates and short positions on US rates, while short positions in French government bonds weighed on performance. In emerging markets, Hungarian rates were the primary contributor following the election of the pro-European candidate Peter Magyar.
  • Credit strategies delivered a positive contribution overall, partially offset by CDS hedges. Performance was primarily driven by our diversified allocation to hard-currency emerging market debt, while developed market credit contributed positively, led by the financial sector.
  • Currency strategies contributed positively overall, led by the South African rand, which benefited from a more supportive macroeconomic environment as oil prices declined, and by commodity-linked currencies such as the Chilean peso. The recovery of the US dollar also supported performance, partially offset by our long exposure to the Japanese yen.

Outlook strategy

  • Modified duration increased modestly during the month, rising from 4.9 to 5.2, reflecting a more constructive stance on long-dated Japanese rates. The portfolio remains primarily positioned through the German yield curve, inflation-linked strategies and emerging markets, while retaining a cautious view on US rates.
  • Regarding interest rate strategies, we maintain a short position on US rates alongside long exposure to breakeven inflation, in a context of resilient growth and persistent inflationary pressures. We remain long on Europe, with long positions in Germany, as the region remains sensitive to rising energy prices, while remaining short on France amid persistent political and fiscal uncertainty. We also maintain short positions on UK rates due to fiscal concerns and have recently initiated a flattening strategy on the Japanese curve, reflecting our expectation that the Bank of Japan will remain hawkish, while elevated real yields should continue to support the long end. In emerging markets, we remain selective, favouring local rates offering attractive real yields, particularly in Brazil, South Africa and Eastern Europe.
  • In spread products, we maintain significant exposure, particularly to hard-currency emerging market debt, which should benefit from strong carry, improving fundamentals with rating upgrades, capital flows and a still dovish Fed. However, given tight valuations and persistent risks, we remain cautious and keep strong protection via iTraxx Xover to hedge potential spread widening.
  • On currencies, we maintain limited USD exposure, reflecting the Fed’s dovish bias and debasement narrative. Our selection includes Latin American currencies such as the Brazilian real and Chilean peso, as well as commodity currencies including the Australian dollar. We also hold a long position in the Japanese yen, which should benefit from the Bank of Japan’s ongoing monetary normalisation amid inflationary pressures.
