Market environment

  • January saw renewed tensions with the US capture of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro, Trump pressuring Europe over Greenland, and rising US–Iran frictions amid stalled nuclear talks. This drove higher volatility and supported commodities, especially energy and precious metals.
  • In the United States, the Federal Reserve kept its policy rate unchanged at 3.75%, its first pause since July amid sustained growth and inflation remaining above target. Producer prices accelerated, pointing to persistent upstream inflation pressures, while economic data remained solid, with Q3 GDP revised up to 4.4%, strong durable goods and factory orders, and a still-tight labor market. Late in the month, President Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh to the Fed briefly lifted volatility on hawkish concerns.
  • In Europe, inflation came in slightly weaker than expected, with headline inflation easing to 2.0% year-on-year in December, supporting expectations of a possible ECB rate cut later in the year. At the same time, euro area’s GDP surprised on the upside, growing by 0.3% in the fourth quarter, although growth projections for 2026 are weaker.
  • In Japan, political uncertainty rose after the Prime Minister called a snap election for February, reviving fiscal concerns. Long-end JGBs sold off, while the BoJ struck a hawkish tone by upgrading its inflation outlook despite holding rates steady.
  • Rate markets were volatile, with the US 10-year Treasury yield up 7bps over the month, while the German 10-year yield remained stable. Credit markets stayed resilient despite geopolitics, supported by strong technicals, with iTraxx Xover widening only slightly by around 3bps to 247bps.
  • On currencies, the dollar index fell -1.4% weakening against every other G10 currency amid the reemergence of the dollar debasement narrative. In a context of renewed geopolitical tensions and a strong rally in commodities, notably oil and precious metals, commodity-linked currencies such as the Brazilian real, the South African rand and the Chilean peso performed well.

Performance commentary

  • During the month, the fund delivered a positive performance, outperforming its benchmark, supported by contributions from its three main performance drivers: interest rates, credit and currencies.
  • Interest rate strategies contributed positively overall, driven by long positions in German rates and short positions in US rates, as well as short positions on UK rates. Inflation strategies also added value amid rising commodity prices. These gains were partly offset by short positions in French rates. In emerging markets, exposure to selected Eastern European countries and South African rates contributed positively.
  • Exposure to spread products continued to support performance, notably through a diversified allocation to hard-currency emerging market debt and corporate credit, which benefited from our preferred sectors, particularly financials and energy.
  • Finally, foreign exchange strategies made a positive contribution, driven by positions in commodity-linked currencies such as the Australian dollar, Chilean peso and South African rand, as well as the Brazilian real and Mexican peso.

Outlook strategy

  • In a context of persistent uncertainty marked by macroeconomic and political risks, trade tensions and fiscal concerns amid late-cycle valuations, we maintain a moderate modified duration of around 3.2, mainly concentrated in credit and emerging markets, 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 keep 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, south Africa and 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 and debasement narrative. Our selection includes Latin American currencies (Brazilian real, Mexican peso, Chilean peso) and commodity-linked currencies (Australian dollar, Norwegian krone). 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.
