  • Cyclically: Our US term-premium, fair value, and neutral-rate models indicate fixed income markets are fairly priced on a 6-12m forward basis. 
  • Tactically: Our Fed Hiking Regime model has triggered, but Powell has made clear his reluctance to hike, with the risk-reward appearing limited when looking at STIR markets.
