You’re probably thinking “so far, so good” on rate rises and the economy.

No evidence yet of a sharp slow-down and fixed mortgage holders seem to be adjusting ok to higher rates, partly due to strong employment.

But we're only halfway through the six-month fixed-rate cliff period, points out Pendal’s head of government bond strategies TIM HEXT in this latest fast podcast.

“It's definitely too early to say there hasn't been any significant damage,” Tim says.

What’s next then?

It's 'so far, so good' on rates and the economy. But what's next?

The Albanese government is getting ready to launch Australia’s first sovereign green bonds, which are designed to fund public net-zero projects.

As with all new green bond issuances, investors will be looking to make a good return and a positive impact.

When it comes to positive impact, investors should be looking “additionality” in the projects funded by Albo's green bonds, say Pendal’s head of credit and sustainable strategies George Bishay and ESG credit analyst Murray Ackman.

In other words, projects that bring about real step-change.

Here George and Murray explain more about green bonds and what investors should be looking for.

Green bonds: What are they and how do you choose the right ones?

The RBA seems happy that inflation is heading in the right direction, but it’s a difficult path from here to the 2-3% band, notes Pendal’s head of government bond strategies Tim Hext.

A soft landing is more likely, but we're unlikely to see rates cuts unless the economy turns weaker. 

Here's a quick overview from Pendal portfolio manager Tim Hext, who heads up government bond strategies for our Income and Fixed Interest team.

Soft landing more likely but don’t hold your breath for rate cuts

Inflation isn’t under control and the RBA still has work to do, argues Oliver Ge, an assistant portfolio manager with Pendal's income and fixed interest team

“I think at 4.1% we're still at least a couple of hikes away,” says Oliver in our latest fast podcast.

Oliver points to three things blunting the impact of rate rises:

“Firstly, the Australian economy is demonstrating a level of resilience that's greatly surpassed most expectations.

“Secondly, there seems to be a wage-price spiral in certain aspects of inflation that continues to channel within the CPI basket, so it persists at a level that warrants concern.

“Thirdly, despite market chatter about the potential fallout from high interest rates – particularly for mortgage holders – our analysis shows that Australians, on aggregate, aren't as vulnerable as one might assume.”

Three things blunting the impact of rate rises on inflation

It looks like RBA boss Phil Lowe's “got one more hike he's itching to do” in July or August, says our head of government bond strategies Tim Hext in our latest fast podcast

“The inflation data will start to turn down from that point,” says Tim.

“The RBA should then use that as a reason to be on pause for the rest of the year.

“Looking further beyond, towards the middle of next year, I think what you're going to see is potentially the US starting to cut rates early next year.

“With that backdrop, there is a possibility we get lower rates in the second half of next year, even if inflation – and particularly wages – remain a bit sticky.”

For now, Tim argues investors should consider 10-year bonds as they hover around the 4% mark.

He explains why in this podcast.

Tim Hext: Why now could be a good time to lock in 10-year bonds

China has emerged quickly from the zero-Covid era, but a property slowdown is holding the economy back.

What does that mean for fixed income investors?

“We think there are many strong reasons both cyclically and structurally to be favouring fixed income and bonds in portfolios right now," argues Pendal's head of income strategies, Amy Xie Patrick.

“The way the China growth story is shaping up for 2023 presents as one of the top reasons to be buying bonds right now.”

China has emerged quickly from the zero-Covid era, but a property slowdown is holding the economy back.
What does that mean for fixed income investors?
“We think there are many strong reasons both cyclically and structurally to be favouring fixed income and bonds in portfolios right now," argues Pendal's head of income strategies, Amy Xie Patrick.
“The way the China growth story is shaping up for 2023 presents as one of the top reasons to be buying bonds right now.”

Why weak domestic demand in China is good for bonds

Consumers are feeling gloomy, but are we still headed for recession?

With inflation “sufficiently well-behaved”, the main factors to watch now are unemployment and wages, says our head of bond strategies Tim Hext in our latest fast podcast.

Here Tim explains the outlook for wages and jobs -- and what it tells us about the likelihood of recession in the US and Australia.

He also explains why we are unlikely to see rate cuts this year.

An economic recession is highly likely in 2023, says Pendal’s head of income strategies Amy Xie Patrick. How should investors respond?

EXCERPT:

We think an economic recession is highly, highly likely in 2023.

How should investors be positioning their portfolios?

An easy decision is to consider long-duration government bonds, says Amy.

Regardless of whether your view is of a mild or a deep recession, bonds should rally when recessions hit.

This is why being in duration or government bonds should be the crux of your portfolio decision this year.

Compared to the beginning of 2022, government bonds are far more attractive now in terms of the income stream that they can provide, compared to other risky assets like equities.

But it shouldn't be a set-and-forget strategy.

We fear that 2023 will be just as volatile a market environment as 2022.

There will be new fears about whether inflation's really behind us, whether monetary policy tightening is closer to an end or not, and that will drive volatility in both equity and bonds this year.

So putting a larger weight to fixed income and putting it with an actively managed strategy that has proven to be tactical and agile through market volatility will be key.
