European bonds are an attractive reentry opportunity.
The European bond market presents a good opportunity to reenter as an investor, especially for those not yet exposed to fixed income, because the market is pricing in too many rate hikes by the ECB. The ECB is expected to pause and not move rates into 2026-2027, and short-to-medium term bonds (3-6 years) offer attractive opportunities amid these rate expectations.

Buy European bonds in 2-5 year range.
There is opportunity in European government bonds in the 2 to 5 year range because the inflation impact from the war is likely muted, growth concerns are more relevant, and the ECB is unlikely to hike rates as much as expected, leading to higher yields and income.

Avoid European government bonds due to sovereign risk.
European government bonds are too dangerous due to risks to public sector finances from the war, inflation, and falling growth; the yields do not reward the risks, and there is potential for sovereign debt crises. It is a return-free risk.

"We think it's more of a buy outside the U.S. We like Europe, core Europe. The idea of two hikes priced in this year is not appropriate." The market is pricing in rate hikes for the ECB due to the inflationary impact of the energy shock. However, central banks typically look through supply shocks. The severe hit to European economic growth from triple-digit oil prices will ultimately force the ECB to cut rates, not hike them, driving bond yields lower. LONG European sovereign bonds as the market is incorrectly pricing in ECB rate hikes during a growth-destroying energy shock. If the energy shock causes persistent stagflation and the ECB rigidly prioritizes its inflation mandate over economic growth, they may actually hike rates, hurting bond prices.
