Over the past few months, an acute source of tension has created a disconnect between the Federal Reserve\u2019s (Fed\u2019s) expected trajectory for its overnight policy rate and what forward-looking markets believed was appropriate, with the former remaining firmly in the restrictive camp. Wednesday\u2019s statement by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell relieved much of that tension as the U.S. central bank took what we consider to be an unambiguous move toward dovish territory for the first time this cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As evidenced by the precipitous post-announcement decline in bond yields across the U.S. Treasuries curve \u2013 2-year yields fell by as much as 30 basis points (bps) and the 10-year by roughly 18 bps \u2013 the market embraced the Fed\u2019s new posture. And while a shift in rhetoric does not equal a pivot, the intent of the central bank\u2019s forward guidance is to lay the groundwork for what looks to be an imminent move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This shift in the Fed\u2019s stance has considerable implications for the fixed income landscape. Foremost, given Chairman Powell\u2019s laser focus on price stability after 2022\u2019s botched transitory call, the Fed would not even hint that a pivot \u2013 much less a 75-bps reduction \u2013 was in the cards unless it believed the inflation genie was being placed back in the bottle. If anything surprised us in the Fed\u2019s statement, it was Chairman Powell\u2019s seemingly abrupt reversal in his stance that rate cuts would not be forthcoming until inflation dipped closer toward the Fed\u2019s 2.0% objective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-change-in-fed-s-summary-of-economic-projections-2024\">Change in Fed\u2019s Summary of Economic Projections (2024)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Fed evidently has enough confidence in the continued descent of core inflation \u2013 expecting it to fall to 2.4% by year-end 2024 \u2013 to suggest that up to three 25-bps rate cuts may be justified over the next 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"530\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampusdev.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/Article-chart-dove-pear-tree-Cielinski-12.13-1_en-1100x530.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8515 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/Article-chart-dove-pear-tree-Cielinski-12.13-1_en-1100x530.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/Article-chart-dove-pear-tree-Cielinski-12.13-1_en-700x337.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/Article-chart-dove-pear-tree-Cielinski-12.13-1_en-300x145.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/Article-chart-dove-pear-tree-Cielinski-12.13-1_en-768x370.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/Article-chart-dove-pear-tree-Cielinski-12.13-1_en-1536x740.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/Article-chart-dove-pear-tree-Cielinski-12.13-1_en-2048x987.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px; aspect-ratio: 1100\/530;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: Federal Reserve, as of 13 December 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Granted, progress has been made. The Fed\u2019s updated Summary of Economic Projections lowered its expectation for year-end 2024 core inflation, as measured by the Fed\u2019s favored gauge, from 2.6% to 2.4%. We are already seeing this view play out, with the six-month annualized rate of inflation, based on the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE)<sup>1<\/sup> price index, falling from 4.0% in June to 2.5% in October. Still, the central bank\u2019s willingness to depart from this restrictive line in the sand is notable, although it could be second-guessed should inflation\u2019s downward trajectory stall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-welcome-descent-in-inflation\">The welcome descent in inflation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Giving the Fed cover to shift to a dovish stance was the 6-month annualized inflation rate sliding to 2.5%, compared to a more elevated year-over-year figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"530\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampusdev.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/Article-chart-dove-pear-tree-Cielinski-12.13-2_en-1100x530.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8516 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/Article-chart-dove-pear-tree-Cielinski-12.13-2_en-1100x530.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/Article-chart-dove-pear-tree-Cielinski-12.13-2_en-700x337.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/Article-chart-dove-pear-tree-Cielinski-12.13-2_en-300x145.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/Article-chart-dove-pear-tree-Cielinski-12.13-2_en-768x370.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/Article-chart-dove-pear-tree-Cielinski-12.13-2_en-1536x740.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/Article-chart-dove-pear-tree-Cielinski-12.13-2_en-2048x987.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px; aspect-ratio: 1100\/530;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note: <em>Past performance is not indicative of future results<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: Bloomberg, as of 13 December 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-it-s-working-maybe\">It\u2019s working (maybe)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A soft landing is notoriously difficult to achieve. It\u2019s the goal in nearly every tightening cycle, yet it seldom plays out that way. The current cycle is further complicated by the historic amount of accommodative policy unleashed by the Fed and other central banks in the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, the data are supportive of an economy cooling at a manageable pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While job growth remains above trend, it has moderated from its post-pandemic peak. Other data indicate that fourth-quarter U.S. economic growth is well off its torrid 5.2% third-quarter pace. The Fed is now calling for 2024 gross domestic product growth to clock in at 1.4%, slightly down from September\u2019s estimate of 1.5%. For reference, consensus estimates call for annualized quarterly economic growth to slow over the course of 2024 as the long and variable lags of 525 bps of previous rate hikes continue to bite. Importantly, these estimates do not call for any quarter to generate negative growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-an-early-present-for-bond-investors\">An early present for bond investors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.janushenderson.com\/en-ie\/investor\/article\/2024-investment-outlook-fixed-income-do-the-math\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2024 Market GPS<\/a>, we argued that the upcoming year was shaping up well for bond allocations. This more-dovish-than-expected Fed statement reinforces our argument. Moderating economic growth means that a peak in the rates cycle has been reached. Importantly, a fixed income allocation can now offer yields at levels that had been absent for over a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, should a soft landing materialize, we believe higher-quality corporate and securitized credits could potentially offer value as their financial positions should help them weather a modest economic slowdown. If, however, growth surprises to the downside, we could see the safest segments of the bond market \u2013 namely Treasuries \u2013 rally across maturities. The resulting capital appreciation would then serve as a diversifier against the riskier equities and high-yield corporates that could likely experience a drawdown in a bearish scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mindful-of-the-risks\">Mindful of the risks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While we see bonds likely performing well in both a soft landing and a more material contraction, there are risks inherent in our assessment of how Fed policy could impact the economy and the fixed income market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Higher rates have stymied the U.S. housing market and business investment, and a lower cost of capital could provide relief to these rate-sensitive pockets of the U.S. economy. Should this development result in a positive-growth surprise, bond yields would likely find a floor, and those farther out on the curve could climb as investors price in higher growth and accompanying inflationary pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet, as long as accelerating prices remain relatively contained, this is not a bad problem to endure as it is premised on resilient economic growth. Should that scenario materialize, we would expect more cyclical and lower-quality fixed income securities to also participate in any rally, as they could again grow revenues and maintain margins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jim Cielinski, Global Head of Fixed
