Fixed Income Outlook

BlackRock advises a 'Dynamic Patience' strategy for Q2 2026, prioritizing carry and active selection in response to supply-side inflation and geopolitical uncertainty. The outlook emphasizes that traditional bonds are no longer reliable hedges, necessitating a more flexible approach to fixed income.

• 1.The macro environment is defined by supply-side inflation and geopolitical uncertainty, necessitating 'Dynamic Patience' in portfolio management.
• 2.Fixed income now offers a generationally attractive yield, where persistent carry is a more reliable return driver than attempting to time duration bets.
• 3.Supply shocks have weakened the correlation between rates and risk assets, making bonds less reliable as a traditional hedge.
