Fund Commentary
| MARKET | |
| Last month saw equity markets sell off as investors braced for the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) to wind down its stimulus in the midst of mounting fears over elevated inflation, supply-chain bottlenecks, a global energy crunch, and regulatory risks emanating from China. Yields on 10-year U.S. Treasuries rose sharply reflecting investors’ expectations over monetary policy tightening amid surging inflationary pressures. | |
| September saw Fed Chair Jerome Powell and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warn that a U.S. default due to a failure to raise the debt ceiling would have catastrophic consequences following Republicans who blocked a Democratic move in the Senate to raise the debt limit. In Europe, the European Central Bank announced that it will moderately reduce the pace of its pandemic bond purchase program to €60-€70 billion in the last quarter of 2021. The Bank of England also kept rates steady despite hawkish signs toward a 2022 rate increase. | |
| Meanwhile, tension between the U.S. and China continued to increase as a global risk-off mood was triggered intra-month, after worries over Evergrande Group’s ability to make good on its liabilities. In the commodity space, crude oil and natural gas extended its rally, with OPEC predicting stronger demand due to a combination of rising global fuel consumption and output disruptions. | |
| OUTLOOK | |
| While uncertainties around the pandemic remain high, we maintain a constructive view of the global economy. Given the amount of slack left in the global economy and absent the emergence of a self-sustained rise in inflation, we believe policymakers will prefer to err on the side of caution. | |
| In credit markets, our focus remains on the carry component of excess returns. We continue to favor sectors that are less sensitive to rising interest rates such as high-yield and securitized assets. | |
| We believe modestly higher yields and steeper curves are likely to reside in developed government bonds over the next 6 months, driven by higher real yields, hence we prefer to hold underweight duration positions. | |
| In currency space, we expect the broad U.S. dollar index to be somewhat rangebound in the short-term, with modest positive momentum in the next few months giving way to some weakness later in the year. | |
