NDR Fixed Income Allocation Strategy July 2021 Update

The NDR Fixed Income Allocation Strategy, Positioning Update
BY BRIAN SANBORN

The NDR Fixed Income Allocation Strategy entered the month with increased allocations to U.S. Treasurys and U.S. Investment Grade. U.S. Long-Term Treasurys’ is now significantly above benchmark. The sector’s trend has improved, economic conditions are reversing from favorable levels, and the yield curve has narrowed from recent highs. The momentum of the U.S. stock market is no longer as strong as in previous months, which is less of a headwind for Treasurys. All these indicator changes are bullish for the sector.

In fact, recent volatility might be better thought of as evidence of preternaturally low levels of liquidity. That in itself begs the question of why liquidity is so poor. August doldrums, or evidence of a Potemkin market? Read more →
