Market environment

  • The end of the longest U.S. government shutdown allowed economic data to be released again, giving investors more visibility. Expectations for a rate cut in December were very volatile: they fell below 50% after hawkish comments and strong increases in services prices, before rising again above 70% at the end of the month following more dovish remarks from the New York Fed President.
  • In the United States, recent data showed a mixed picture. Activity in the services sector improved, with the ISM at 52.4, while manufacturing remained in contraction at 48.7. The labor market also sent mixed signals, with job creation above expectations but more announced layoffs and slightly higher unemployment. Consumer spending weakened, with lower retail sales and softer household confidence.
  • In the euro zone, the outlook was similarly mixed. GDP for the third quarter was revised up to +1.4%, but industrial production in September disappointed at +0.2%. PMI surveys nonetheless pointed to some improvement in services, especially in France, while headline inflation continued to ease across the region. At the end of the period, sentiment improved thanks to growing hopes for progress in the Ukraine peace talks, which also led to a drop in oil prices.
  • Internationally, Japanese inflation stayed above 3% YoY, increasing pressure on the Bank of Japan as a large stimulus plan was announced, which pushed sovereign yields higher. In the UK, the Bank of England kept rates unchanged, and the government’s budget was broadly well received, helping gilt yields partially reverse their earlier rise.
  • In this context, the US yield curve steepened, with the 2-year and 10-year Treasury yields falling by 8 bps and 6 bps respectively, while German yields moved in the opposite direction, rising by 6 bps on both the 2-year and the 10-year. Credit generally performed well, with the iTraxx Xover tightening by 10 bps to 256 bps, while European IG credit lagged, pressured both by rising rates and a very heavy primary market supply throughout the month.
  • On the currency front, the euro appreciated against the US dollar amid dovish comments from Fed members, particularly at the end of the period.

Performance commentary

  • Over the month, the fund delivered a negative performance, slightly underperforming its reference indicator.
  • Regarding interest rate strategies, our short positioning on US rates and our inflation strategies weighed on performance, while our long positions on euro rates also detracted. Conversely, our long positions on South African and Brazilian rates contributed positively.
  • Our credit exposure was the main positive contributor to performance during the month, driven primarily by our selection of hard-currency emerging market debt and, to a lesser extent, by our corporate bond holdings.
  • Finally, regarding currencies, the positive contribution of our selection of Latin American currencies (BRL; MXN, CLP) was offset by the negative contribution of our long position on the Japanese yen.

Outlook strategy

  • In a context of persistent uncertainty around global growth, shaped by ongoing trade tensions and fiscal stimulus in major economies, we expect central banks in both developed and emerging markets to maintain accommodative policies. In this environment, we keep a modified duration of around 3.3, mainly driven by exposure to emerging market debt and corporate credit, while remaining cautious on core interest rates.
  • On interest rates, we are short US rates and long breakeven inflation, as the market is pricing in almost four cuts while the economy remains resilient and inflation above target. In Europe, we are long the short end of the curve, as the market no longer expects further cuts, and short France due to political and fiscal risks. We initiated a short on UK rates amid budget-slippage concerns and stay short Japanese rates, where inflation is rising alongside a large fiscal package. We remain selective on local emerging market rates, which still offer attractive real yields, notably in Brazil and parts of Eastern Europe.
  • In credit, we maintain significant exposure, particularly to hard-currency emerging market debt and, to a lesser extent, corporate credit, which continue to offer attractive carry. However, given tight valuations, we stay cautious and maintain high protection via iTraxx Xover to hedge potential spread widening.
  • On currencies, we slightly increased our US dollar exposure, consistent with our view that the Fed will not deliver all the cuts priced in. Our selection includes Latin American currencies (Brazilian real, Mexican and Chilean pesos) and commodity-linked currencies (Australian dollar, Norwegian krone). We also keep a long position in the Japanese yen, as the Bank of Japan is expected to be the only major central bank to raise rates this year.
