In this month’s Global Fixed Income Update we discuss the variable nature of growth across economies and the influence of mild, yet persistent monetary policy pressure. With inflation still higher than central banks would like and a lack of fiscal tightening, monetary policy will remain the key lever in driving inflation to target. In terms of positions; in rates we discuss our current longer dated positioning, in currencies, the lack of EUR/USD trend and subsequent position in bloc currencies and Yuan. Finally, in spread we are long financials vs industrials. #MUFG #markets #fixedincome #interestrates #economics

↘ Eurozone: more interest rate cuts coming With the European Central Bank (ECB) approaching its next monetary policy decision on 12 September, attention is turning to the updated macroeconomic projections set to be released. Our base case predicts another 25 basis points rate cut at the upcoming meeting, followed by a similar adjustment in December. This outlook is driven by three key factors: 1️⃣ Stable Growth Outlook: We anticipate minimal changes in the growth forecasts, signaling a continued recovery. 2️⃣ Disinflationary Trends: Despite ongoing concerns about core inflation persistence, headline disinflation remains the dominant force influencing the ECB's policy approach. 3️⃣ Improving Financial Conditions: Gradual small improvements in financial conditions further support the ECB's current strategy. For more detailed analysis and insights, check out our full note below. #ecb #interestrates #macro #outlook #eurozone https://lnkd.in/eChURQcH
