Rates Spark: ECB Presser Bear-Flattened The Curve
The ECB cut rates by 25bp as widely anticipated, but a slightly hawkish tilt bear flattened the EUR curve, which in our view remains priced aggressively. In the US, as the markets head towards the Fed's first rate cut, the probability of a larger cut rose slightly on Thursday.

Estimating The Impact Of Lower Rates On Bond Fund Dividends
It generally takes a few years for changes in Federal Reserve rates to fully impact bond fund dividends. Bond funds are still benefitting from prior rate hikes. Perhaps by enough to cancel out any future rate cuts. By my estimations, and under current Fed guidance, most bond funds would only start to see declining dividends in 2025, at the earliest.

GOVT: Inflation Battle May Not Be Over
The iShares U.S. Treasury Bond ETF is a high duration ETF sensitive to speculated rates and Fed policies. Powell's remarks suggest rate cuts may not come as soon as expected, but failure of soft landing hopes could bring down longer-term rates which would actually be good for GOVT. Prices of longer duration bonds have gone up due to lower than expected debt issuance and potential for rate cuts but only in response to a higher probability of recession.
