FSA FI Daily Commentary 28 August 2026
US Treasuries softened with yields rising 2–4 bps ahead of Fed Chair Warsh's Jackson Hole keynote, while central banks in South Korea and the Philippines hiked rates. Credit issuers showed divergent results, with strong earnings from MinRes, TD, and RBC contrasting with ongoing restructuring risks at China Vanke.
Fixed income markets saw modest yield increases across major sovereign curves as investors positioned for Fed Chair Warsh's upcoming Jackson Hole keynote and hawkish remarks from Fed officials Schmid and Hammack. In Asia, the Bank of Korea delivered back-to-back rate hikes to 3.00% on the back of a semiconductor boom, and the BSP raised rates amid elevated energy prices and currency depreciation. Across corporate credit, Bank J. Safra Sarasin updated its views on several global and Asian issuers, noting standout operational recoveries at Mineral Resources and Health & Happiness, resilient performance at Canadian banks TD and RBC, but ongoing distress and restructuring needs at Chinese developer China Vanke.
