As the market increasingly questions the ability of the Federal Reserve to control inflation, some global bond investors seek to switch to markets such as Australia and Europe, which further increases the selling pressure on US bonds. Schroder, with assets under management of $1.1 trillion, is expanding its bearish position on US Treasury bonds while buying short-term bonds from Australia, the United Kingdom, and the Eurozone. The company believes that the latest meeting of the Federal Reserve once again confirms its view that US policymakers may still need to further tighten their policies. The fund is betting that the yield on short-term treasury bonds in these markets will decline, and it holds short positions on US 5-year and 10-year bonds. Kellie Wood, head of some Australian fixed income at Schroder, said that the Federal Reserve meeting has undoubtedly once again strengthened our view of holding or even increasing our short positions on US Treasury bonds. There are plenty of great opportunities outside of the US. We are optimistic about markets such as Australia, Europe, and the United Kingdom, because compared to current market pricing, these central banks are more likely to keep interest rates unchanged.
