Bond Market Commentary : August 2024

Healthy Range 

 

Following a good momentum in July 2024, the fixed-income asset class continued its rally in August 2024. The yield on US Treasury 10-year bond fell below 4% and remained stable for the month. This declining yield was primarily driven by recession fears, prompting investors to seek safe havens early in August, along with a statement from the Fed at the end of the month indicating that it was time to adjust the policy rate. The Fed successfully aligned inflation and job market conditions.

Domestic bond yields responded quickly to developments in the US market, with IndoGb 10-year yield strengthening to below 6.8%. The yield spread between US Treasury and IndoGb narrowed to a healthy range of 250-280 basis points. The strengthening Rupiah, which appreciated by around 5% during the month despite a weaker trade balance, further boosted the Indonesian bond market. We extended our portfolio durations, which resulted in positive performance.
