Key takeaways:

  • Bond yields test patience and resolve as we approach terminal rates culminating in classic false breakouts in UK & Australian 10 year yields
  • The growth environment remains supportive for bonds and no impediment to yields falling
  • Core inflation was the proximate cause for this bond bear and the outlook on the inflation front is improving rapidly
  • The UK remains the one outlier but it is priced as such and there may be more benign explanations than a persistent inflation problem
  • Generically, credit spreads look tight relative to the macro environment . Pockets of opportunity can be found in short dated investment grade yield and AAA agency mortgage securities in the US
