Since the 1980s, when strategist Ed Yardeni coined the term, episodes of fiscal excess regularly give rise to questions about when these vigilantes might turn up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Predicting sudden market responses to long-term trends is difficult. There is no organized group of vigilantes poised to act at a specific debt threshold; shifts in investor behavior typically occur at the margin and over time. Therefore, if you\u2019re seeking clues about the potential for bond vigilantism, you might start by asking the largest fixed income investors \u2013 who theoretically hold the most market sway \u2013 what they\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At PIMCO, we are already making incremental adjustments in response to rising U.S. deficits. Specifically, we\u2019re less inclined to lend to the U.S. government at the long end of the yield curve, favoring opportunities elsewhere. Here\u2019s our latest thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-concerns-and-opportunities\">Concerns and opportunities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fiscal stimulus helped to fuel a post-pandemic U.S. economic recovery while propelling stock markets to record heights. Although equities may rise further, valuations appear more stretched, with the U.S. equity risk premium \u2013 a gauge of investor compensation for owning stocks over a risk-free rate \u2013 near record low levels (see Figure 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-figure-1-the-u-s-equity-risk-premium-has-tumbled\">Figure 1: The U.S. equity risk premium has tumbled<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"619\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/PIMCO_Perspective_Seidner_Dhawan_Dec2024_Fig1_6531027-1100x619.jpg\" alt=\"The U.S. equity risk premium has tumbled\" class=\"wp-image-200629 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/PIMCO_Perspective_Seidner_Dhawan_Dec2024_Fig1_6531027-1100x619.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/PIMCO_Perspective_Seidner_Dhawan_Dec2024_Fig1_6531027-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/PIMCO_Perspective_Seidner_Dhawan_Dec2024_Fig1_6531027-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/PIMCO_Perspective_Seidner_Dhawan_Dec2024_Fig1_6531027-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/PIMCO_Perspective_Seidner_Dhawan_Dec2024_Fig1_6531027-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/PIMCO_Perspective_Seidner_Dhawan_Dec2024_Fig1_6531027-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px; aspect-ratio: 1100\/619;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: Bloomberg, MSCI, and PIMCO as of 31 October 2024. <strong>&#8211; Past performance is not indicative of future results<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Past performance is not indicative of future results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That stimulus also fueled a surge in U.S. indebtedness. Debt and deficit levels are high even in today\u2019s strong economy and will likely keep growing. The Federal Reserve in November cited U.S. debt sustainability as the biggest concern among survey participants in its semiannual financial stability report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given the potential investment implications of this rising U.S. debt trajectory, here are three approaches we favor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Targeting short- and intermediate-dated bonds.<\/strong> We expect the U.S. Treasury yield curve to steepen, fueled in part by deteriorating deficit dynamics (for more, see our July <em>Economic and Market Commentary<\/em>, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pimco.com\/eu\/en\/insights\/developed-market-public-debt-risks-and-realities\">Developed Market Public Debt: Risks and Realities<\/a>\u201d). That implies a relative rise in yields for longer-term bonds, which are influenced by the prospects for inflation, economic growth, and government policies \u2013 including the potential for increased Treasury issuance to fund deficits. Longer-term bonds typically have a higher duration, or price sensitivity to interest rate changes. We have been reducing allocations to longer-dated bonds, which we find relatively less attractive. Over time, and at scale, that\u2019s the kind of investor behavior that can fulfill the bond vigilante role of disciplining governments by demanding more compensation. We prefer short and intermediate maturities, where investors can find attractive yields without taking greater interest rate risk. Although we regularly adjust allocations along the yield curve to express evolving views on duration and relative value, rising sovereign debt has become a greater factor in these decisions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Diversifying globally. <\/strong>We\u2019re lending in global markets to diversify our interest rate exposures. The U.K. and Australia exemplify high quality sovereign issuers with stronger fiscal positions than the U.S. They face greater economic risks as well, which can benefit bond investors. We also like high quality areas of emerging markets that offer yield advantages over developed markets. Non-U.S. bonds can also help hedge equity exposure in portfolios. If you contrast fiscal policies, we believe it makes sense to be structurally short the U.S. public sector versus the private sector, while the opposite generally holds true in Europe, where growth momentum has stalled and fiscal responses remain constrained. In essence, the U.S. boasts a stronger income statement while the European Union largely has a stronger balance sheet. It\u2019s a trade-off between growth and durability. The U.S. can grow but is in uncharted deficit territory. The EU is struggling to grow but has been able to navigate turbulence, such as Brexit and the Greek debt crisis, although we remain cautious on select European countries. The U.S. might ultimately prove resilient, but uncertainty builds as debt keeps rising. The U.S. social contract \u2013 large deficit-fueled growth \u2013 has spurred a productivity and technology boom to the benefit of U.S. companies and stock investors (see Figure 2). We therefore believe it makes sense to take equity exposure in the U.S. and prefer debt exposure in Europe.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-figure-2-u-s-now-constitutes-about-75-of-the-msci-world-index\">Figure 2: U.S. now constitutes about 75% of the MSCI World Index<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"602\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/PIMCO_Perspective_Seidner_Dhawan_Dec2024_Fig2_6531028-1100x602.jpg\" alt=\"U.S. now constitutes about 75% of the MSCI World Index\" class=\"wp-image-200630 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/PIMCO_Perspective_Seidner_Dhawan_Dec2024_Fig2_6531028-1100x602.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/PIMCO_Perspective_Seidner_Dhawan_Dec2024_Fig2_6531028-700x383.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/PIMCO_Perspective_Seidner_Dhawan_Dec2024_Fig2_6531028-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/PIMCO_Perspective_Seidner_Dhawan_Dec2024_Fig2_6531028-768x420.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/PIMCO_Perspective_Seidner_Dhawan_Dec2024_Fig2_6531028-1536x840.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/PIMCO_Perspective_Seidner_Dhawan_Dec2024_Fig2_6531028-2048x1120.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px; aspect-ratio: 1100\/602;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: Datastream as of 31 October 2024 <strong>&#8211; Past performance is not indicative of future results<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Past performance is not indicative of future results<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Targeting higher credit quality<\/strong>. For companies as well as governments, rising debt levels can affect creditworthiness. We favor lending to higher-quality companies in public and private markets alike. Credit spreads are near historic lows in some sectors, with diminished reward for moving down in credit quality to boost yield. In public credit markets, high quality bonds offer attractive yields and appear well positioned across various economic scenarios. In private markets, we favor asset-based finance over lower-rated areas of corporate direct lending.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-vigilance-before-vigilantism\">Vigilance before vigilantism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By some measures, investors have already been demanding higher yields to lend in the bond market. In November, the yield to worst on the benchmark Bloomberg US Aggregate Index climbed above the effective federal funds rate for the first time in more than a year. That also illustrates how bond yields overall have become more attractive than cash rates as the Fed has begun to cut its policy rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, we have become more hesitant to lend longer term given U.S. debt sustainability questions and potential inflation catalysts, such as tariffs and the effects of immigration restrictions on the labor force. The U.S. remains in a unique position because the dollar is the global reserve currency and Treasuries are the global reserve asset. But at some point, if you borrow too much, lenders may question your ability to pay it all back. It doesn\u2019t take a vigilante to point that out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amid concerns about the impact of rising deficits on U.S. Treasuries, it helps to differentiate
