Global Rates Trader: Relaxed Not Relieved

Rates StrategyRates Govt BondsDerivativesMacro Economic IndicatorsFinancials

Global rates markets have stabilized following a period of yield range-breaks, with European rates outperforming while US yields remain near the top of their range.

Key Takeaways

  • 1.US Treasury yields have stabilized after a sharp selloff, but a lack of macro catalysts prevents a deeper rally as valuations are not yet sufficiently stretched.
  • 2.European rates are outperforming global peers, and Goldman Sachs continues to recommend long 5y5y EUR real rates as duration remains protected by central bank action.
  • 3.There is a growing valuation case for long Gilts in the UK due to weakening activity data, despite lingering political risks.
