Market environment

  • April was dominated by the US–Iran conflict, with alternating phases of escalation and ceasefire. The two-week truce early in the month triggered a sharp correction in oil prices, but persistent tensions, renewed threats and ongoing disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz pushed Brent above $120/bbl, its highest since 2022, before stabilizing above $110/bbl by month-end, reinforcing fears of a prolonged energy shock.
  • Sticky commodity prices fueled renewed inflation pressures, with short-term inflation swaps moving significantly higher on both sides of the Atlantic, reinforcing stagflation concerns. This was reflected in a more hawkish tone from central banks, with markets still pricing around three additional ECB hikes by year-end and no longer expecting Fed easing, supporting a higher-for-longer environment.
  • In the US, the Federal Reserve kept rates unchanged at 3.50–3.75% but adopted a more hawkish tone amid one of the most divided FOMC meetings on record. Data remained resilient, with flash Q1 GDP at 2.0% supported by domestic demand and PMIs in expansion, while inflation pressures intensified, with PCE index at 3.5% and strong upside signals from price paid components.
  • In the euro area, the ECB also left rates unchanged at 2% while signaling potential tightening as early as June. Growth weakened, with flash Q1 GDP at 0.1% and composite PMIs in contraction, reflecting geopolitical uncertainty, particularly in services, while inflation surprised to the upside, with April flash CPI at 3.0% YoY.
  • Against this backdrop, sovereign yields moved moderately higher in the US and Germany, with US 2-year and 10-year yields up around +5bps and +6bps and German 2-year and 10-year yields rising by about +3bps. 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.
  • The US dollar weakened broadly as markets scaled back rate cut expectations and risk sentiment improved while emerging currencies generally appreciated despite oil-driven geopolitical uncertainty.

Performance commentary

  • In this context, the Fund delivered a positive performance, outperforming its reference indicator.
  • The portfolio benefited from its short US rates exposure, while short positions on French rates detracted. Positions in local emerging market rates also contributed positively, notably in Hungary, Poland and South Africa.
  • Credit strategies were broadly neutral, with gains from our diversified exposure, particularly in the financial sector, offset by losses on credit default swap (CDS) hedges.
  • Currency strategies contributed positively, driven by exposures to higher-yielding and commodity currencies such as the Brazilian real, Australian dollar, Chilean peso, Hungarian forint and Mexican peso, partially offset by negative contributions from the USD.

Outlook strategy

  • Duration was actively increased during the month, rising from 4.5 to 4.9, reflecting a more constructive stance on rates, alongside a slight increase in the short end of the European curve and the initiation of a position in New Zealand bonds. The portfolio remain primarily exposed to the German yield curve, inflation strategies and emerging markets, while remaining cautious on US interest rates.
  • Regarding interest rate strategies, we maintain a short position on US rates alongside long exposure to breakeven inflation, in a context of resilient growth and persistent inflationary pressures. We remain long Germany, where markets have priced in nearly three rate hikes, while remaining short on France amid ongoing political and fiscal uncertainty. We also maintain short positions on UK rates due to fiscal concerns and on Japanese rates, where rising inflation and significant fiscal stimulus argue for higher yields. In emerging markets, we remain selective, favouring local rates offering attractive real yields, particularly in Brazil, South Africa and Eastern Europe.
  • In spread products, we maintain significant exposure, particularly to hard-currency emerging market debt, which should benefit from strong carry, improving fundamentals with rating upgrades, capital flows and a dovish Fed. However, given tight valuations and persistent risks, we remain cautious and keep strong protection via iTraxx Xover to hedge potential spread widening.
  • On currencies, we maintain limited USD exposure, reflecting the Fed’s dovish bias and debasement narrative. Our selection includes Latin American currencies such as the Brazilian real, Mexican peso and Chilean peso, as well as commodity currencies including the Australian dollar. We also hold a long position in the Japanese yen, which should benefit from the Bank of Japan’s ongoing monetary normalisation amid inflationary pressures.
