Corporate Credit Spread Complacency: Neutral IGSB, Bearish HYG, Bullish IEF

Sovereign risks are evident and corporate earnings have impressed. However, these are known factors – it's time to look ahead. We remain bearish high yield credit, with the spread between high yield-to-investment grade narrowing toward the -1 sigma boundary. Fundamentals in high yield credit have probably struck an inflection point. Investment grade fundamentals seem better-off. However, credit spreads are exceptionally narrow.

IEF: Staying Bullish As Spread Repricing Echoes Opportunity

Yield spreads, especially the 10-year to 3-month and 10-2 year, offer crucial insight into market expectations for the economy and the iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF alike. As argued in recent months, we expect a cyclical slowdown to consolidate and risk-off sentiment to prevail, which could bolsted IEF ETF's total returns. Though merely a judgement call, we expect real yields to diminish on the basis of a lower neutral rate and a softer term premium. Moreover, we expect breakevens to calm.

IEF: Times Are Tougher, But Yields Aren't Denying It

Sovereign risks are seemingly higher. However, 7-to-10 year yields acknowledge the risks and have therefore priced expected returns higher. We think real rates and inflation expectations are overpriced and will settle lower in due course, providing iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF a helping hand. The term premium is pent-up and CDS values have seemingly overshot. News shocks have contributed and may decay with time, assisting IEF ETF even further.
