Quick takeaways

  • The bond market is expected to see a steepening yield curve as investors reprice long-term debt due to the expectation of sticky inflation, potentially leading to a significant multi-sigma increase in long-end yields.
  • A bottoming of the bond market is seen as a prerequisite for any significant repricing in equities, and rising long-term bond yields could lead to rotation away from technology sectors with duration exposure.

Bond Market Expectations: Yield Curve Steepening and Rising Yields

The bond market is expected to see a steepening yield curve as investors reprice long-term debt due to the expectation of sticky inflation. This revaluation is driven by the need for a risk premium on assets affected by inflation. Short-term treasuries are becoming an attractive alternative with their higher yields, while long-term bonds lose appeal. The potential move in yields could be significant, with an estimated multi-sigma increase, particularly in the long end of the yield curve.
