Goldman Macro Playbook For An Iran Peace Deal

Macro ThematicRates Govt BondsEquitiesCommoditiesEnergyInformation Technology

Goldman Sachs macro traders outline a 'playbook' for an Iran peace deal, suggesting investors chase UK rates and global equities while fading European front-end rates and long-duration DM yields.

Key Takeaways

  • 1.An imminent Iran peace deal is expected to drive oil forwards lower, rates lower, rate curves steeper, and equities higher.
  • 2.UK front-end rates are the primary 'chase' opportunity due to economic weakness and higher probability of future cuts compared to peers.
  • 3.European front-end rates should be 'faded' on a rally as core inflation has not yet peaked and the June ECB hike is already locked in.
