High Grade Strategy
The Fed’s dovish surprise is a positive for all risky assets, but the resulting decline
in UST yields makes it less of a positive for HG credit. How much of their pivot
has been driven by weaker expected growth remains to be seen. We believe HG
bond spreads will widen by year-end, driven by less supportive growth, weaker
corporate earnings, and increased concerns about corporate leverage. That said,
near-term technicals are supportive with bond supply coming in below last year
and HG bond fund inflows increasingly strong. Gross supply is trending down
more than 5% in 1Q with one week to go, and net supply is down about 35%
thanks to higher maturities. Mutual fund/ETF flows for HG bond funds in
February were strong at $17.7bn. This was the strongest inflow month in over a
year. However, demand from overseas investors has slowed recently with some
profit taking evident recently. BBB short-end bonds are relatively more attractive
for spread investors compared to A rated long-end bonds from a risk and return
perspective. We upgrade Aviation to Overweight from Neutral.
Credit Derivatives
CDX.IG and iTraxx indices rolled this week. The CDX.IG Series 32 index roll
closed at 7.4bp on Wednesday, which was slightly rich to the roll fair value of
7.8bp. This was about in line with our expectations. CDX.IG options rolled lower
in implied volatility but marginally higher in daily spread breakeven. CDX.HY
Series 32 rolls on March 27. For the new HY series, there are seven name changes.
We expect the roll to trade about 11bp/6c cheap to the CDX.HY S31 version 3
index. CDX.IG is relatively more skewed toward lower rated names than the broad
HG cash market. HG CDS-Bond basis has narrowed recently, driven by the
outperformance of BBB rated bonds.
Trade Tracker
Since our last publication, our Trade Tracker is down $188. Over the last 12
months, performance is up by $947,940 (+4.7% ROI / +24.7% IRR).

Summary and Outlook
The Fed’s turn and High Grade bond spreads—good or
bad?
The Fed’s dovish turn this week clearly surprised markets, with UST yields
materially lower. A large majority of FOMC participants now expect zero hikes this
year, down from a median projection of two hikes in December; this was more
dovish than consensus expectations. In the statement the Committee was described as
being patient in assessing the outlook, and the reference to rate “adjustments”
continues to indicate no bias to tighten or ease. The statement noted indicators of
slower growth of household spending and included a new observation that headline
inflation has declined, largely as a result of lower energy prices. Finally, there was
the expected statement on the balance sheet runoff plans, which were more generally
accommodative than anticipated. Balance sheet runoff will end in October, which
was in line with expectations, but there will also be a taper down in the pace of
runoff of Treasuries, starting in May when the caps are reduced from $30 billion per
month to $15 billion per month. After September, these caps go to zero. In the
updated economic projections growth was nudged down a little this year—no
surprise given the way Q1 is shaping up—while the unemployment rate was revised
up 0.1-0.2%-point over the forecast horizon. See Michael Feroli’s note for more
details (link). When the Fed statement was released UST yields fell sharply, with the
10yr yield 8bp lower on Wednesday.
For High Grade spreads this raises a key question of which matters more—the
negative of lower UST yields or the positive of more supportive monetary policy
for all risky assets. Another aspect of this debate is that the Fed’s turn to a more
dovish position, while being discussed in terms a switch to average inflation
targeting, is happening at the same time that the economic data has softened. The
answer to the first question is dependent, partly, on whether the Fed’s change is one
purely of approach or more simply a reaction to the weaker economic data and
outlook.
In our view, the combination of lower UST yields and weaker growth will be a
more important driver of spreads than the more bullish monetary policy stance,
over time. There is usually a negative correlation between UST yields and spreads—
i.e., lower UST yields brings wider spreads. Using a rolling three-month regression,
this correlation is negative 80% of the time, positive 20%. YTD both UST yields and
spreads are meaningfully lower (-24bp for spreads, -15bp for UST yields), so we
have been in this 20% range—i.e., positive correlation. Going forward we believe it
is likely that lower yields now put some upward pressure on spreads. This is because
investors have significant positive returns to take YTD (+4.4% in 10yr HG bonds,
+5.0% in 30yr) and because the marginal new investor faces lower potential returns
with lower entry yields.

Recent economic data continues to be on the weak side and portends weaker
corporate earnings in the upcoming earnings report. The charts below show
several indicators of the growth trend. These include JPM’s economic activity
surprise index, the Atlanta’s Fed GDPNow growth index, and JPM’s recession risk
indicator. Each of these are models using recent data releases to gauge broader GDP
growth trends and risk, and they all give a similar message of growth weakness.
Some data points to a rebound going forward, and JPM continues to call for 1.5%
growth in 1Q19 and 2.3% in 2Q, but the trend in our GDP forecasts has been
downward revisions recently.

We believe these weaker growth trends, continued uncertainty on trade, along with
tight labor markets with rising wage growth increase the risk that corporate earnings
in the coming quarters will disappoint. High grade bond markets are focused on
significant corporate leverage and the need for many large companies to delever. If
earnings trends weaken and they threaten these deleveraging plans, this should have
a negative impact on spreads.
Near term vs longer term, and tighter spreads before wider?
Our view is wider spreads by year-end, driven by less supportive growth, weaker
corporate earnings, and increased concerns about corporate leverage. However, these
factors will play out slowly, while market technicals impact spreads more quickly.
These technicals are currently supportive, with supply coming in below last year and
fund inflows coming in stronger.
Through February HG bond supply was down 5% y/y (net supply was down 42%).
With seven business days left in March MTD supply stands at $81bn. This compares
to $109bn in March 2018 and an average of $120bn in March over the past four
years. Maturities in 1Q19 total $247bn, up from $223bn in 1Q18. Therefore, gross
supply looks set to be down approximately 5% y/y while net supply will likely be
down by a greater magnitude. Over the past four years 2Q supply has been 3% lower
than 1Q, on average ($326bn vs $338bn, respectively). This suggests that the positive
technical of lower supply will continue.
