1 Markit iboxx monthly report August 2016 August iboxx bond monitor: UK bonds continue surge Bonds provided relatively flat returns last month as the possibility of a US rate rise saw investors continue to rotate into corporate bonds. Euro, dollar and pound denominated corporate bonds outperformed sovereign peers UK bonds continued to surge with inflation linked gilts returning nearly 10% over the month Investors still prefer corporate bond ETFs over sovereign peers The bond market was relatively calm last month as it took stock of the impact of recent central bank intervention to gauge possible policy next steps. The strongest hint of the way forward from central bankers came from Fed chairman Janet Yellen s yearly Jackson Hole speech in which she strongly suggested that the case for a near term federal funds rate increase was building in light of recent economic data. The market took heed of Ms Yellen s speech with treasury yields bouncing off their recent lows. This jump in yields saw the iboxx $ Treasuries index widen by 11bps, and wiped out a tenth of the index s year to date total returns; now up 5.5% for the year so far. Even in light of the recent jump in yields, the index is still over 60bps tighter for 2016 so far, which shows that investors aren t putting much stock on more than one rate rise before the end of the year. countries such as France and Germany most severely as the iboxx Germany and iboxx France, fell by 60bps and 73bps over the month in total returns respectively. Peripheral Italian and Spanish bonds delivered positive total returns over the month as investors continue to seek out the last bastions of yield in the eurozone sovereign space. UK sovereign bonds continued to buck the trend as investors continue to weigh up the ramifications of June s EU referendum. This uncertainty took 30bps off the iboxx Gilts index to set a new all-time low. These falling yields have translated into strong returns for investors as the index was up by 2.8% in August on a total return basis. European bonds also saw a slight pickup in yields as a positive July eurozone PMI survey took the possibility of further easing off the table. This yield pickup mostly impacted core Inflation linked gilts proved to be the winning trade over the month as the asset class delivered a staggering 9.8% as investors looked to protect themselves from a possible surge in inflation due to the collapse of the pound post Brexit referendum. The asset
2 class is now the best performing global asset class tracked by Markit s iboxx indices. While investors pondered the possibility of central bank intervention on sovereign bonds, their corporate peers continued to surge ahead which drove benchmark spreads lower across all three major global currencies. These falling spreads helped ensure that corporate bonds across all major currencies delivered positive total returns. Emerging markets The emerging market bond rally was largely unfazed by the potential of a near term US interest rate rise as both sovereign and corporate dollar denominated bonds issued by emerging market entities delivered positive total returns for the month. The former of the two asset classes proved to be the winning trade as it the iboxx USD Emerging Markets Sovereigns index delivered 1.7% for the month, 50bps more than its corporate peer. Brazilian bonds weren t able to capitalise on the Olympics as local currency bonds came lagged the rest of the emerging market pack, which was led by Russian bonds which delivered 1.8% of total returns for the month. Fixed income ETFs Fixed income ETFs enjoyed another strong month over August as the asset class registered inflows of over $12.3bn over the month. Investors continued to prefer corporate bonds over their sovereigns as investment grade, high yield and preference shares saw over half of the inflows. August s inflows mean fixed income ETFs have seen $88.7bn of inflows globally so far this year, which puts them in line to comfortably in line to beat last year s $123bn inflow record.
