HSBC Mid-Year Outlook 2020: Global Fixed Income

Bonds markets on bifurcating roads

	Xavier Baraton Global CIO, Fixed Income, Private Debt and Alternatives HSBC Global Asset Management
	Joe Little Global Chief Strategist HSBC Global Asset Management

We view the COVID-19 pandemic both as an accelerator of pre-existing patterns and as a credit shock, causing bond markets to bifurcate:

• Low inflation and low for longer yields for quality assets,
• Secular deleveraging striking back crossing the need for balance sheet repair
• Selective central bank support and variable budget stimuli causing dispersion between countries and issuers

In our base case scenario of a swoosh recovery, and with a ‘low for long’ theme in developed market interest rates, what is the outlook for quality credit and FI investors?
