Market environment

  • January was marked by increased geopolitical tensions, fueling the rebound in commodities. Notable events include the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by the United States, Donald Trump's pressure on Europe regarding Greenland, and the escalation of US-Iranian tensions amid the stalemate in negotiations over Tehran's nuclear program.
  • In the United States, the Federal Reserve maintained its key interest rate at 3.75%, marking a pause in its rate-cutting cycle. Producer prices accelerated more than expected due to the impact of tariffs, while economic activity remained robust with an upward revision of Q3 GDP to 4.4%. Orders for durable goods and industrial orders were strong, and employment data was reassuring.
  • In Europe, inflation surprised slightly on the downside, slowing to 2.0% year-on-year in December. However, the eurozone growth surprised positively with a GDP increase of 0.3% in Q4.
  • In Japan, the announcement of early legislative elections by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi pushed long-term Japanese rates upwards, notably with the 30-year rate rising by +23bps.
  • In this context, US rates increased, particularly the 10-year rate, which rose by +7bps, while the German 10-year yield remained stable. Credit markets showed resilience despite the deteriorating geopolitical context with a marginal widening of the iTraxx Xover index by 3bps.

Performance commentary

  • The fund generated a positive performance on an absolute and relative basis in January, benefiting from our positions in inflation-indexed instruments.
  • Our rate overlay strategies also contributed significantly, particularly our short positions on the long ends of yield curves of developed sovereign issuers.
  • The only negative contributor to the fund's performance was our overlay strategies on high-yield credit, although volatility peaked at the end of the period.
  • During the month, we increased our short position on French sovereign yields.

Outlook strategy

  • The current environment presents many uncertainties, particularly on the geopolitical front, which could lead to greater volatility in risky assets.
  • The market appears pessimistic about the US economic outlook, thus incorporating strong rate cut expectations. On the other hand, the market is much more optimistic about the growth potential of the euro area, with no rate cuts anticipated from the ECB for the next twelve months.
  • The inflation trajectory seems to be upward across the Atlantic following the decisions of the US administration on tariffs and also on migration policy.
  • Based on these observations, we maintain a negative modified duration while maintaining a strong appetite for inflation-linked products. On the credit front, we maintain protections across the high-yield bond spectrum given the current level of valuation and the potential risk of widening credit spreads.
