A sharp repricing has pushed 10-year U.S. Treasury yields to around 5.30% following the Federal Reserve's (Fed) 25 basis point (bp) hike in September, with real yields doing the heavy lifting.
For investors’ next marginal fixed income allocation, we believe high yield bonds could be worth considering against private credit in the current environment.
Sticky inflation and resilient growth have revived monetary tightening, increasing the risk of higher-for-longer rates and near-term volatility. We continue to believe economic resilience and strong corporate profits should continue to provide a favorable backdrop for stocks, and would use periods of market weakness to add selectively to equities. Additionally, owning real assets can help hedge against inflation.
Value equities have historically shown resiliency during higher inflationary periods versus their growth counterparts. With inflation remaining elevated, we believe that value opportunities continue to be a compelling option for portfolio diversification and potential stability.
