Market environment

  • Despite of the fragile ceasefire in the middle east, the pressure on commodities remained high in April amid prospects of prolonged disruption in the Strait of Hormuz and potential US military action against Iran leading to a stabilization of the Brent above $100/bbl.
  • Sticky commodity prices have led to stabilization in the rate market, with investors still anticipating three rate hikes by the European Central Bank by the end of the year and no longer expecting any easing from the Federal Reserve.
  • In the US, the Fed held rates steady at 3.50–3.75% In April, the FOMC adopting a more hawkish tone in what appears to be the most divided meetings on record. J. Powell confirmed he will remain on the Board as long as necessary. Growth accelerated with flash Q1-GDP at 2.0%, partly supported by public spending, while inflation picked-up with the PCE index pointing at 3.5%.
  • In the Eurozone, the ECB kept rates unchanged at 2%, and hinting at potential hikes as from the June meeting. Flash Q1-GDP slowed to 0.1% and April flash inflation rose to 3.0% YoY, pointing to a stagflationary backdrop.
  • During the month, yield curves were in a slightly bearish configuration. In the eurozone, the German 2-year yield rose by +3 bps over the month compared to +4 bps for the 10-year yield. A similar pattern was observed in the United States, with the 2-year yield increasing by +5 bps and the 10-year yield by +2 bps. Paradoxically, risk appetite was much more pronounced on the credit front, where credit spreads in the high-yield spectrum tightened by -60bps on the iTraxx Xover index during the month of April.

Performance commentary

  • The fund delivered a positive absolute and relative performance in April in a still highly volatile market environment.
  • Our inflation linked instruments were the key performance drivers during the month while rate overlay strategies also contributed positively to fund’s performance.
  • During April, we took profits on part of our exposure to the front end of the euro curve and increased our short positioning on the US 10-year which has led to a drop in the level of modified duration of the fund to 0.0 at end of the month.
  • On the other hand, we increased our exposure to 5-year euro inflation breakeven and initiated a new position on New Zealand 5-year rate.

Outlook strategy

  • The current environment remains highly uncertain, particularly on the geopolitical front, and is likely to drive continued volatility in both rates and spreads.
  • Inflation dynamics are trending upward on both sides of the Atlantic, driven in part by US policy decisions on tariffs and immigration, as well as ongoing energy market tensions amid war in middle east.
  • While the market has significantly revised upward the short ends of the yield curves in Europe and the US, we believe that curve steepening should accelerate going forward given the worsening deficit trajectories of developed countries, thereby putting upward pressure on long-term interest rates.
  • Against this backdrop, we maintain a tactical positive positioning on the front end of euro curve while preserving a strong allocation to inflation-linked assets. On the credit side, we continue to favor overlay strategies across the high-yield segment, given the risk of further spread widening.
