About this talk

In this quarterly webinar presented by our Global Investment Research team you will hear valuable intel that will help you navigate opportunities and risks across fixed income markets. Hey highlights: • Cyclical factors, central bank easing and geo-political risks favour government bonds • Two-speed easing cycles unfold, with Fed in the slow lane • High debt/GDP ratios leave onus on monetary policy to deliver recoveries • Historical evidence shows long US Treasuries outperform in easing cycles • High yield credit remains strongest performer in 2024 risk rally & since Covid • Relative valuations favour govt bonds and higher-grade IG credits • But yields on HY credits are not dear, assessed versus 10-year means Throughout the discussion you will hear answers to key questions facing investors on market expectations and performance – along with actionable insights on global yield curves and credit spreads across sovereign, inflation-linked and corporate indices, and FX-adjusted return performance using data from our global fixed income indices. The discussion will draw upon key findings from our Fixed Income Insights reports, published shortly before this webinar.
