Asset allocation tips from Pendal’s head of multi-asset Michael Blayney

Australia is in a surprisingly good position to weather the Trump administration’s trade policies, says Pendal’s head of government bonds TIM HEXT in this fast podcast

“We have reasons to be optimistic down here, albeit it's not going to be quite as good as it could have been," says Tim.

“We're going to get very close to all our long-term aspirations this year.

Inflation is expected to end the year around 2.7% – within a whisker of the 2.5% target.

Growth is likely to be around 2.25%, unemployment around 4.25% and wages around 3% to 3.25%, he says.

“The trouble of course is what Trump and his tariffs may do to that – but I still think we can be reasonably confident Australia will weather the upcoming storm well."

Tim Hext: Australia’s in a good position to weather the global storm

AFTERNOON REPORT

Fixed-income investors looking for lower yields – and therefore higher prices on their bond investments – may be disappointed with the recent cycle.

But investors need not be concerned, since conditions still favour a rate-cutting environment, says Amy Xie Patrick, who leads Pendal’s fixed-income strategies.

Underlying inflation is under control – supported by a looser US labour market which has not yet been impacted by President Trump’s mooted immigration crack-down. In Australia a tighter labour market has not led to significant wage increases.

“The market's priced in two more US cuts this year, maybe another two in Australia.

"The RBA has enough room to get back to neutral fairly quickly… And the Federal Reserve probably has the ability to move a little bit more than the market’s priced in.

“It’s still a choppy year ahead – but this is where a proven active process for duration and rates really does count for fixed-income portfolios.”

Amy Xie Patrick: Turbulent conditions require a decisive, active approach to  fixed income

Investors could not be blamed for feeling a bit queasy at Donald Trump’s whiplash approach to tariffs.

What does it mean for inflation and markets?

“The tariff threat does add to this argument that inflation isn't about to come down anytime soon,” says Pendal’s head of bond strategies Tim Hext.

“The market is right to be a little bit concerned. Obviously free trade – or some version of free trade – is generally to the benefit of both parties.

“The law of comparative advantage says you end up focusing on what you are a cheap producer of.

“If you start throwing sand into the gears of free trade that’s not a good thing.

“Ultimately, I think it is bad for growth and will mean slightly higher inflation, but not enough to suddenly cause rate hikes in the near future.”

It creates a lot of short-term noise, but fortunately investors with a medium-to-long-term time-frame can leave it to people like me to worry about that."

Tim says investors should hold course for now.

In the podcast Tim lays out his latest thinking on fixed interest investing.
