  • UST yields reversed their recent slide as concerns over bank credit exposure and liquidity stresses in the U.S. banking sector gained prominence, with the 10Y yield briefly falling to 3.93% intraday before rebounding to ~4.01% (+3.5bp) and the 2Y yield holding firm amid curve flattening; elevated repo facility usage, a stalled government shutdown and uncertainty…

  • UST 10Y yield slipped below 4.00%, settling at approximately 3.976% amid heightened risk aversion and weak macro signals, while shorter tenors also retraced slightly as dovish expectations reemerged; the inversion between short and long rates narrowed as long yield weakness outpaced declines at the front end. The move reflected a confluence of headwinds: U.S.-China tensions,…

  • 總體經濟與投資策略展望 核心策略:在信用利差緊縮的環境下,強調信用篩選與品質優先。偏好證券化產品(如結構性信用、機構MBS)、高品質公司債以及具有長期順風的領域(如基礎設施)。保持多元化配置,並預留空間在利差擴大時增加信用風險曝險。 經濟成長放緩:預期美國實質GDP成長率將放緩至1.7%,並在2026年維持相近水準。高收入家庭消費與AI投資是主要支撐,但住房市場、低收入家庭及勞動市場面臨挑戰。 聯準會政策:預期2025年將再進行兩次25 bps的降息,Fed Fund Rate上限降至3.75%,並在2026年底趨向3%或更低。 各類資產觀點 總結 我們認為,在經濟放緩與聯準會降息的背景下,固定收益提供了具吸引力的收益率和總回報潛力。然而,在信用利差普遍緊縮的情況下,主動管理、嚴格的信用篩選和多元化配置對於管理風險和發掘超額回報至關重要。投資策略側重於高品質收入和相對價值機會,特別偏好證券化產品和特定結構性信貸領域。 本文僅供資訊參考,不應被視為對任何特定證券、策略或投資產品的推薦,或任何形式的投資建議。

  • UST yields fell modestly as Powell struck a softer tone, highlighting that labor markets had weakened and signaling that the Fed may soon halt balance sheet runoff, reducing liquidity pressures. His comments reinforced belief in a near-term cut, pushing down long yields with 10Y dipping toward ~4.02% (−2-3bp) while 2Y yields eased slightly, steepening the…

  • UST yields pushed higher as investors refocused on sticky inflation, heavy issuance and Fed credibility concerns following mixed dovish signals; 10Y moved toward ~4.17% in some sessions while 2Y retraced modestly, leading to mild curve flattening as long rates underperformed. A Reuters poll of 75 bond strategists suggested that long yields are likely to stay…

  • UST yields retraced a portion of prior declines as global capital flows rotated back into U.S. duration in response to renewed dollar strength and sticky macro surprises. The 10Y climbed back toward ~4.14% from lower levels, underpinned by supply stress and term premium repricing, while 2Y held relatively stable near ~3.53%, causing modest steepening in…

  • UST yields crept higher as markets reconciled easing hopes with persistent inflation and issuance concerns: 10Y slowly advanced from ~4.12% toward ~4.14–4.16%, while 2Y nudged upward reflecting recalibrated rate-cut expectations; the curve compressed modestly as long yields continued to carry repricing pressure. Weak labor signals and shutdown risks kept dovish narratives alive, but strong data…

  • 私人信貸能夠提供與基準利率同步上漲的浮動利率,近年來增長顯著,到 2029 年可能成為一個價值 5 兆美元的市場。看看它是如何實現的。 近年來,私人信貸(指銀行以外的機構向企業提供的貸款)的需求顯著增長。與大多數銀行貸款不同,私人信貸解決方案可以根據借款人在交易規模、類型或時機方面的需求進行客製化。然而,與銀行貸款類似,大多數私人信貸貸款的形式是浮動利率投資,其利率會隨著利率的變化而變化,與固定利率債券等投資相比,它們能夠提供即時利率保護。 此外,近年來,市場波動加劇和銀行貸款監管趨嚴,也助長了私人信貸的進一步增長,一些借款人蜂擁而至,看中了其價格確定性和速度優勢。 2025年初,私人信貸規模為3兆美元,而2020年約為2兆美元,預計2029年將成長至約5兆美元。 私人信貸是傳統銀行體系外的貸款形式,貸方直接與借方協商並發放不在公開市場交易的私人持有貸款。 2008年全球金融危機爆發,銀行也隨之推出了相關的資本規定,私人信貸填補了貸款領域的空白。 私人信貸有五種常見類型: 越來越多地投資者將私人信貸納入其投資組合,作為傳統固定收益策略的潛在高收益替代方案。這些方案可能包括:   私人信貸歷來表現優於固定收益市場和槓桿融資的其他領域。過去十年,隨著私人信貸開始真正成長,與槓桿貸款和高收益債券相比,私人信貸提供了更高的回報和更低的波動性。 由於私人信貸採用浮動利率貸款,在利率上升的環境中往往表現優異。自2008年以來的七次利率上升期間,直接貸款(私人信貸最主要的策略)的平均回報率為11.6%,比其長期平均水平高出兩個百分點。 在利率適度下降的時期,也能達到高於平均的業績。 2024年第四季度,直接貸款的年化報酬率為10.5%,即使在聯準會降息期間,其回報率也超過了高收益債券和槓桿貸款。如果聯準會下一輪降息幅度不大,或總共降息100至150個基點,那麼私人信貸或許能夠繼續提供令人信服的回報。 私人信貸也可能提供更好的風險管理,以應對損失。私人公司通常沒有信用評級,即使有,評級也低於投資級。直接貸款更有利於主動與借款人互動。再加上對優先擔保貸款的更多關注,相對於更廣泛的槓桿融資領域,直接貸款的信用損失可能會更低。例如,自2017年以來,優先直接貸款的損失為0.4%,而槓桿貸款的損失為1.1%,高收益債券的損失為2.4%。  我們看到以下領域存在著潛在的機會: 採取積極主動的方法變得越來越重要,其中包括根據當前的經濟和利率環境密切分析公司的獲利和自由現金流產生。私人信貸借款人通常關注國內市場,但關稅的影響是另一個重要的考量。 同時,對於企業而言,首要關注點是流動性管理。自2024年聯準會首次降息以來,借貸成本有所下降,但仍遠高於2022年通膨衝擊前的水準。迄今為止,絕大多數借款人都能夠成功管理其流動性。 本文僅供資訊參考,不應被視為對任何特定證券、策略或投資產品的推薦,或任何形式的投資建議。

  • UST yields first dipped modestly as dovish cues—especially Miran’s comments supporting calm in the bond market—temporarily softened hawkish anxiety, prompting brief safe-haven flows. However, the relief was short lived: long end yields rebounded as inflation surprises and persistent fiscal issuance fears reignited caution. By day’s end, 10Y was hovering near 4.10% (down ~2bp intraday before…

  • U.S. Treasury yields edged lower initially on Stephen Miran’s dovish remarks that calm bond markets support further cuts, but quickly reversed as attention shifted to persistent inflation risk and supply pressures; 10Y eased to ~4.13% (from ~4.15%) but then retraced upward along with 2Y as investors reconsidered the pace of easing, and 30Y also drove…
