Market development

Per 31-08-2025

Markets were mixed in August, as strong earnings clashed with macro uncertainty and heavy supply. US equities advanced beyond Big Tech leadership, supported by one of the strongest earnings seasons of the past decade (ex-Covid), with widespread upside surprises versus preseason estimates. Bond yields eased on softer labor market signals, with the 10-year Treasury yield falling 14 bps to 4.23%, while Bund yields rose slightly, up 2 bps. At Jackson Hole, Powell struck a dovish tone, signaling a likely 25 bps September cut while firmly ruling out 50 bps, which markets fully priced in by month-end. The debate over Fed independence intensified after political efforts to remove Governor Lisa Cook, adding to market unease ahead of key data releases. In Europe, the ECB reiterated that policy is "in a good place", and rates are now expected to stay on hold at 2% through year-end. French political tensions ahead of a September 8 confidence vote briefly pressured OATs and bank spreads, though robust demand for corporate issuance helped stabilize credit. Credit spreads widened modestly, as heavy post-summer supply weighed on sentiment, with US IG 3 bps wider at 79 bps and EUR IG 6 bps wider at 84 bps.

Expectation of fund manager

Credit markets have rebounded strongly post-Liberation Day, with spreads tightening beyond pre-shock levels, driven by solid technicals and resilient demand. Fundamentals remain stable for now, though the true economic drag from tariffs and policy uncertainty has yet to filter through. US credit is supported by strong carry and cautious issuance, but the flatness of credit curves and stretched valuations limit upside. Europe continues to offer relative value, having lagged since Liberation Day, while EM credit benefits from lower leverage and improving macro tailwinds. High yield faces structural challenges as restructuring risk rises, with investor focus shifting up in quality. Tight spreads leave little margin for error, prompting conservative beta positioning. Selectivity, credit quality, and regional allocation remain critical in navigating the months ahead.
