Adding duration to fixed income portfolios will be attractive as the economy slows later this year, Amundi US’ head of fixed income Jonathan Duensing explains to Bloomberg Intelligence Chief US Interest Rate Strategist and host Ira Jersey on this Macro Matters edition of the FICC Focus Podcast. Duensing discusses how Amundi analyzes markets prior to investment decisions, noting his team’s bottom-up approach. He says mortgage-market extension has made evaluation of the sector easier. On the recent banking turmoil, Duensing suggests risks may be quelled thanks to quick policy action. Regulators did a good job ringfencing the regional banks over the the past month to avoid contagion to the broader financial system, Duensing says. In the Interest Rate Intro segment of the podcast, US Rate Strategy Associate Will Hoffman asks Jersey about the difference between Libor and secured overnight financing rate (SOFR). Jersey explains that SOFR isn’t a like-for-like replacement and suggests that the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield (BSBY) might be better for assessing financial liquidity risk.
