High Grade Strategy
HG bond spreads have been range bound in July around the 140bp level. This
follows an 18bp rally in June. The YTD tightest level for the JULI was 138bp on
April 17 so we have basically returned to this. The range bound trend this month
reflects a balance between ongoing support coming from the expectation of Fed
rate cuts in 2H19, balanced by concerns about the slowing trends in corporate
results heading into the 2Q earnings reporting season. The recent rally has been
interesting with bullish and bearish signs. On the bullish side BBBs have rallied
in line with A rated bonds and credit curves have flattened. However, sector
spread dispersion remains high and implied option volatility is high as well.
Stubbornly high FX hedging costs combined with lower credit yields is limiting
some overseas demand, but low yields globally are supporting demand as well.
With lower yields comes higher dollar prices on bonds – impacting valuation
across the curve. We lowered our 2H19 bond supply forecast in our mid-year
outlook. We expect $400bn in 2H19, down from about $600bn in 1H19.
Credit Derivatives
CDX indices continue to lead the rally in credit markets. Both CDX.IG and
CDX.HY are trading close to their post crisis tights. However, the tail risk in
CDX.HY is more significant now compared to prior tights. Excluding the impact
of the weakest names, CDX.HY is trading at its January 2018 tights. ETFs have
lagged other credit index products. This is especially true for HYG as the rates
rally has weighed on the ETF spread performance relative to CDX indices. CDX
option volatility has lagged in the rally and continues to be high relative to index
levels. We discuss a costless hedge against a large selloff. Finally, Weatherford
International filed for bankruptcy last week. Based on current pricing, the
CDX.HY on-the-run index fair value price will increase 58c/ -13bp due to the
removal of Weatherford.
Trade Tracker
Since our last publication, our Trade Tracker is up $7,187. Over the last twelve
months, performance is up by $980,274 (+6.6% ROI / +33.9% IRR).

Summary and Outlook
HG bond spreads have been range bound so far in July around the 140bp level.
This follows an 18bp rally in June. The YTD tightest level for the JULI was 138bp
on April 17 so we have basically returned to this level. The range bound trend this
month reflects a balance between ongoing support coming from the expectation of
Fed rate cuts in 2H19, balanced by concerns about the slowing trends in corporate
results heading into the 2Q earnings reporting season. This tug of war between a
weakening trend in fundamentals but supportive technicals has been ongoing for
years, and usually the technical driver has been the winner in the end. This is
because US growth and earnings trends have held up, and have stayed in a narrow
range which has been supportive for credit. It is our expectation that this continues,
with US GDP growth forecasts of 1.5%, 1.8%, 1.8% and 1.8% for 3Q19-2Q20.
That said, we believe most of the spread return for 2019 has been earned. Our
forecast is that spreads will end the year a little wider at 150bp. This is because we
expect some profit taking into YE given the very strong rally YTD. Rising political
risks around the election next year will give investors an additional reason to lighten
up on risk as well. For the remainder of the year the carry on the index will
about/mostly offset the expected spread widening such that, under our forecast,
excess return from now ‘til December will be just 0.2%. This compares with 3.6% in
1H19. JPM expects 10yr UST yields to fall to 1.75% by YE, and 30yr yields to
move to 2.45%. If these prove correct and our spread forecast does as well. HG
bond total return from now until YE will be 2.7%. YTD the total return is 9.5%.
In a recent report we reviewed the relationship between UST yields and HG
bond spreads for the last 10 years (see here). Over the past month there has been
positive correlation between UST yields and HG bond spreads, with both moving
lower in June. Historically there has been low correlation between the two, with
periods of both positive and negative correlation evident in both higher and lower
volatility periods. More recent data demonstrates stronger correlation even though it
remains low. In addition, there has been a pattern of more positive rolling
correlations in 2Q-3Q and more negative rolling correlations in 4Q-1Q each year for
the last 7 years. There has been higher correlation between JULI spreads and 3m-
10yr swaption volatility rather than with the actual level of rates. By sector, the
Technology and Energy sectors have the strongest correlation with UST among
sectors. Please see the report for more details and discussion of this issue.

Bullish and bearish trends in the rally
The spread rally from end-May has been interesting, with some relative relationships
moving as would be expected and others not so. On the bullish/expected side the
relationships between BB, BBB and A rated bonds have moved more or less as
expected given the overall spread tightening. There has not been an obvious spread
compression trade favoring BBs nor a clear up in quality trade favoring A rated
bonds. Also, spread curves are considerably flatter compared to levels seen at the end
of May.
More interesting is that credit volatility has not fallen with the rally in CDX.IG. The
index level is back to where it was in mid-April yet IG 3m implied volatility is 4-5%
higher at 47%. This suggests investors remain aware of the potential for market
volatility to return. This is logical given the near term issues including trade tensions,
mid-East tensions, 2Q earnings reporting season, etc.
Also interesting is that the decline in sector spread dispersion has lagged the overall
rally in the credit market despite credits across the rating spectrum performing
similarly. Investors are being more selective in sectors during this rally, rather than in
ratings. All sectors have tightened since the late May peak but not by the same
degree. In percentage of spread terms the best performing sectors include Food/Drug
Retail (21% tighter), Non-Food Retail (20% tighter), Food/Beverages (19% tighter),
and Cable/Satellite (19% tighter). The worst performing include REITs (10%
tighter), P&C Insurance (11% tighter), Healthcare/Pharmaceuticals (12% tighter) and
Paper/Packaging (13% tighter).

Overseas demand seeing divergent trends
The math and data around foreign demand for USD credit shows both positive
and negative extremes. On the negative side the annualized cost of a 3m FX hedge
for a Euro and JPY based investor stands at 292bp and 276bp, respectively. This is
little changed on the year. However, HG bond yields are lower by 1.11% in 10yr
YTD (to 3.30%) and 0.90% in 30yr (4.02%). So the after-hedge yield pickup in USD
credit for Euro and Yen based investors now stands at -45bp and -57bp, respectively,
for their matching bonds. This is around the lowest after hedge pickup for USD-JPY
post-crisis.
This seems to be reflected in the TRACE data on dealer selling overnight. In
June dealers net sold $41mn/night on average, which was the lowest average
daily volume for any month since Jan 2018. The YTD avg daily volume is
$100mn/night while the 2018 daily average was $78mn/night. The most recent 10
day rolling average is dealers net selling only $1mn/night. This is around the lowest
dealer net selling overnight since Jan 2014 when we started tracking this data series.
Dealers have net bought bonds overnight over a two week rolling period only in two
other instances prior to this – Jan 2018 and April 2014.
However, other data gives a more bullish message on overseas demand. The
yield pickup on USD credit versus Euro credit of the same issuer is now 246bp
(2.69% yield for USD vs 0.23% for Euro before the hedge). This pickup figure has
