Market environment

  • Geopolitical tensions intensified sharply in July as renewed conflict in the Middle East disrupted maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, pushing Brent crude prices close to USD 90 per barrel.
  • The Federal Reserve kept its policy rate unchanged at 3.50%-3.75% for a fifth consecutive meeting. However, the decision was perceived as more hawkish than expected, with three FOMC members dissenting in favor of an immediate rate hike.
  • The ECB also left its deposit rate unchanged at 2.25%, while reiterating that inflation risks remained tilted to the upside and maintaining a data-dependent approach.
  • Macroeconomic data confirmed resilient growth on both sides of the Atlantic despite heightened geopolitical uncertainty. In the US, economic activity remained solid despite Q2 GDP slowing to an annualized 1.5%, while June inflation surprised on the downside, although core PCE inflation remained elevated at 3.7% YoY. In the euro area, growth remained modest but exceeded expectations, while headline inflation surprised to the upside, rising to 2.9% YoY.
  • Against this backdrop, sovereign yield curves bear steepened on both side of the Atlantic, driven by a stronger rise in long-end yields with US 10-year yield rising 27bps and the German 10-year yield by 37bps. Credit markets also weakened, with the iTraxx Xover widening by 16bps.
  • Currency markets were marked by a weaker US dollar against the euro and a sharp rebound in the Japanese yen following record FX intervention. Most emerging market currencies came under pressure as higher oil prices weighed on net energy importers, although the Colombian peso, South Korean won and Brazilian real posted strong gains.

Performance commentary

  • In this context, the Fund posted a negative performance, while significantly outperforming its reference indicator.
  • Interest rate strategies were the main detractor over the month as the broad rise in global bond yields weighed on our long positions in the euro area and in emerging market local rates, particularly in Hungary and Poland. These losses were partly offset by our short positions in US Treasuries and French government bonds.
  • Credit strategies made a positive contribution to performance. Gains were driven by our corporate credit allocation, particularly in financials and the energy sector, as well as by our high-yield CDS strategies. Our diversified allocation to emerging market hard currency debt also contributed modestly to performance.
  • Currency strategies were the main positive contributor to performance, led by the Japanese yen, which rebounded following apparent FX intervention by the Japanese authorities at the end of the month. Selected emerging market currencies, notably the South Korean won, Colombian peso and Brazilian real, also contributed positively.

Outlook strategy

  • Modified duration was slightly reduced to 4.6 over the month following profit-taking on selected emerging market positions. The portfolio remains primarily positioned on the German yield curve, inflation-linked strategies and emerging markets, while maintaining a cautious stance on US rates and credit through CDS protection.
  • On rates, we maintain a US yield curve steepening strategy through short exposure to long-end US Treasury yields, alongside long breakeven inflation positions, as inflation risks remain tilted to the upside amid US tariff and immigration policies and ongoing disruptions in energy markets. In Europe, we remain long German rates while maintaining a short position in French government bonds amid ongoing political and fiscal uncertainty. We also retain short positions on UK rates due to fiscal concerns and a flattening strategy on the Japanese curve, reflecting our expectation that the Bank of Japan will remain hawkish. In emerging markets, we remain selective, favoring local rates offering attractive real yields, particularly in Brazil, South Africa and Eastern Europe.
  • In spread products, we maintain a significant allocation to hard-currency emerging market debt, which continues to benefit from attractive carry, improving fundamentals, positive flows and supportive technicals. However, given elevated geopolitical uncertainty and tighter valuations, we maintain substantial protection through iTraxx Xover.
  • In foreign exchange, we maintain limited exposure to the US dollar while favoring high-carry emerging market currencies, notably the South African rand and Chilean peso. Following its strong performance over the month, we took profits and exited our position in the South Korean won. We also maintain a long position in the Japanese yen, which should benefit from the Bank of Japan's ongoing monetary normalisation and recent FX interventions.
