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.
  • US economic data continued to signal a resilient economy. Non-farm payrolls again surprised to the upside, PMI surveys remained robust and first-quarter GDP was revised up to 2.1%. Meanwhile, inflation remained persistent despite softer-than-expected May data, with PCE inflation at 4.1% year-on-year and core PCE at 3.4%.
  • In Europe, the ECB raised its deposit rate by 25bps to 2.25%, reiterating that inflationary pressures were becoming more broad-based despite easing energy prices. It also revised inflation forecasts upward and growth projections downward.
  • 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.

Performance commentary

  • The fund delivered a negative absolute return in June, although it underperformed its reference indicator in a risk-on market environment.
  • Our inflation protection strategies and credit positioning were the main detractors from performance during the month, while our duration overlay strategies provided a modest offset to these losses.
  • During the month, we returned to a low modified duration by reducing our exposure to the euro yield curve, trimming our short-term euro rates swap position at the front end of the curve.
  • In addition, we increased our exposure to 5-year US inflation breakevens and initiated a new position in US real rates.

Outlook strategy

  • Despite the recent easing in energy prices, markets continue to underestimate persistent inflation on both sides of the Atlantic and remain overly optimistic about the pace of disinflation toward central bank targets.
  • At the front end of yield curves, we see value in European rates, where market pricing still appears overly restrictive given subdued growth, while remaining broadly neutral on US short-term rates, which we believe are fairly priced.
  • While short-term rates have largely repriced, we believe markets continue to underestimate the risk of structurally higher long-term interest rates. Deteriorating fiscal dynamics, rising government financing needs and insufficient term premia should continue to support higher long-end yields.
  • 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, while favoring overlay strategies targeting the high-yield segment, where valuations remain vulnerable to a widening in spreads.
