Global Fixed Income Compass

Knowledge. Shared (Q3 2019)


Quarterly insight from our fixed income teams to help clients navigate the markets and opportunities ahead.

Convergence returns to the fore

Jim Cielinski, Global Head of Fixed Income, provides his perspective on the recent slowdown in global growth and discusses the next steps for central banks.

Key takeaways

  • A softening in trade has been blamed for much of the global slowdown, but there is more behind it; while trade’s near-term impact on growth may be overestimated, investors could be underestimating some of the second-round effects.
  • With the Fed’s pivot to a more accommodative stance, practically the entire developed world is now in easing mode, bringing policy convergence back to the fore.
  • Policy normalisation, as we know it, is dead. The ability of central banks to normalise today, at a time when the real equilibrium rate is so low, calls into question the efficacy of traditional monetary policy responses.
