IEI: Significant Upward Shifts In The Yield Curve
Core inflation remains high, and if oil prices don't stay down, the headline and core readings should converge. With growth not a concern yet given the data, the Fed has less reason to cut rates, despite the comments of committee members. It doesn't help that there is upside for oil due to supply risks related to Iran-Israel escalation risks. This could reverse some of the CPI cooling we've seen precluding rates.

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.

IEI: Appealing Fund With 5-Year Yields Above 4.2%
The market is re-pricing timing and number of rate cuts in 2024 due to higher-than-expected inflation. The market initially priced in rate cuts for early 2024, but stronger economic data and continued inflation concerns have shifted expectations. IEI provides exposure to the intermediate portion of the yield curve, tracking U.S. Treasury bonds with maturities between three and seven years. It offers liquidity and helps with portfolio construction.

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.

IEI: Jury Still Out On Inflation's Stickiness
IEI has seen a recovery in price due to expectations of rate cuts by the Fed. Concerns remain about inflation, which is still above policy levels, and the Fed may keep rates higher for longer as financial conditions are still loose. The optimism in markets may be met with the realization that inflationary factors will keep inflation higher than the target, and we believe disappointments are coming.
