      Key Points

      • It’s difficult to sustain a narrative that inflation is headed back towards the Fed 2% target. The reality in the data is that there is no evidence that the US economy needs lower rates any time soon.

      • We continue to be more cautious on the outlook for longer-dated bonds, as investors have been reluctant to move out the yield curve.

      • As consensus thinking is challenged, the future can appear more uncertain, bringing volatility.

      • From our perspective, dislocation creates opportunity.

      • Active management where you manage the credit and rate risks in your portfolio separately is key.
