Capturing attractive yields amid shifting central bank actions

  • The US economy remained resilient during the second quarter even as it showed signs of slowing. Inflation moderated, though progress fell short of expectations.
  • A data-dependent Federal Reserve (Fed) pushed out its forecast for lowering interest rates as it reduced the number of expected rate cuts in 2024. 
  • Global growth has diverged, and we expect this trend to continue.
  • As inflation moderates globally, some central banks have begun cutting rates.
  • Resilient growth in the US should be favourable for risk assets, and a soft-landing scenario may support current valuations. 
  • Our highest conviction ideas call for a steepening of the yield curve and positions in agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and credit sectors.
