Summary

Amid elevated US inflation and the first FOMC meeting under new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, fixed-income strategists discuss mispriced breakevens, rising rate expectations, and shifts in credit markets. They highlight opportunities in long-duration bonds, public investment-grade credit, and municipal bonds, while warning about private credit risks and software concentration.

  • US May CPI at 4.3% and PPI at 6.6% raise inflation concerns ahead of FOMC.
  • Guneet Dhingra argues breakeven inflation is 20bps too low, not pricing in inflation risks; expects three Fed hikes.
  • Nisha Patel advocates thoughtfully adding duration, seeing entry points as yields rise.
  • James Crumbley notes money flowing from opaque private credit to liquid public IG with 5% yields, likely compressing spreads.
  • Kay Herr favours investment-grade financial bonds, while expecting greater credit dispersion.
  • Bruce Richards warns that excessive software exposure in private credit funds will drive ongoing redemptions and loan sales.
  • Matthew McQueen sees municipal bonds as attractive, particularly inside 10 years, supported by robust issuance and demand.
  • The upcoming FOMC is expected to remove the easing bias, with Chair Warsh aiming for policy optionality.
Ideas
Guneet Dhingra Head of US Rates Strategy, BNP Paribas 6:50
Breakevens mispriced, should rise 20bps
Breakeven inflation markets are not reacting to rising inflation risks; consumer surveys show unanchoring and the Fed will be forced to hike. Breakevens should be 20bps higher than current levels.
US TIPS vs nominal Treasuries (breakevens) HIGH
Guneet Dhingra Head of US Rates Strategy, BNP Paribas 12:02
Long bond yields heading above 5%
The buyer base for Treasuries has shifted to financial centers, making the long bond vulnerable. With persistent inflation and coming Fed hikes, long bond yields will go well above 5%.
Long-dated US Treasuries (30-year bond) MED
Nisha Patel Portfolio Management, Parametric 12:37
Add duration as yields get attractive
Higher yields create an attractive entry point for duration. Fed optionality and possible rate hikes could lift yields further, offering even better entry. Clients stepping out of cash into fixed income, quality bias, thoughtfully adding duration.

Avoid private credit due to software risk
Private credit managers have taken way too much software exposure within their open-ended structures. The true value of many software companies is uncertain, leading to more redemption requests and forced loan sales. Investors should avoid these funds.
Private credit funds / BDCs MED

Public credit attractive, IG bonds yield 5%
Public credit markets are attractive relative to private credit. Liquid bonds and loans offer 5% yield on investment-grade bonds, making them a compelling alternative to opaque, illiquid private credit. Money flowing back into public credit will tighten spreads further.
LQD MED
Kay Herr CIO of US GFICC, JPMorgan Asset Management 25:43
Long IG financial sector bonds
Investment-grade financial sector bonds offer attractive opportunities in core plus strategies. IG financials have solid balance sheets while high-yield financials carry too much leverage, making IG financials a favorable bet as dispersion rises.
VCIT MED
Matthew McQueen Head of Global FICC Micro, Bank of America 35:40
Muni bonds attractive inside 10-year
Municipal bond yields are robust and muni ratios are as attractive as anything inside 10-year. Ratings are investor-friendly and issuance demand is strong, especially for infrastructure projects, making munis inside 10 years very compelling.
Municipal bonds (inside 10-year) MED
