Read our market review and find out all about our theme of the week in MyStratWeekly and its podcast with our experts Axel Botte, Aline Goupil-Raguénès and Zouhoure Bousbih.

Topic of the week: Emerging Markets: Desync!

  • Rapid declines in inflation rates, high nominal interest rates and low currency volatility have paved the way for lower rates for emerging markets;
  • We favour local debt in Brazil and Mexico over Eastern European countries with slower disinflation process;
  • The de-synchronization of the emerging markets’ monetary policies also reinforces the value of diversification.

Market review: The Fed is right

  • Jobs and surveys justify Fed tightening;
  • US 10-Yr note yield rises above 4 %;
  • Credit spreads resist despite upward pressure on CDS indices;
  • European equities dip as yields shoot higher.

  • Topic of the Week: Equity and credit valuations;

Chart of the week

changes-in-q1-of-greenhouse-gas-emissions-%-yoy

In the first quarter of 2023, greenhouse gas emissions fell by 4.2% over one year and those of CO2, the best covered by the CITEPA barometer, by 4.9%.

We are approaching the pace required to achieve the European “Fit for 55” objective. But part of the declines can be explained by cyclical factors, while emissions from transport remain on the rise.

Figure of the week

It took fully 15 years for US 2-Yr note yield to rise back to 5%.

INSIGHTS MARKETS
While 2023 arguably marked the comeback of bonds, there’s no guarantee this trend will continue in 2024. And as the latest Natixis research points out, uncertainties over growth prospects and inflation levels, and hence over the timing and scale of central bank rate cuts in 2024, are prompting bond investors to exercise caution.
