"WisdomTree and Bianco Research argue that a Fed rate cut to 3% will push 10-Year Treasury yields up to 4.60% to normalize the yield curve, making active duration management critical."
In their Q3 2024 Investor Letter, Jeremy Schwartz (WisdomTree) and Jim Bianco (Bianco Research) discuss the performance and tactical outlook of the Bianco Research Fixed Income Total Return Index (BTRINDX), which returned 5.27% YTD, outperforming the Bloomberg US Aggregate Index's 4.69% return. The outperformance was driven by an underweight position in duration, a 20% out-of-index allocation to short-duration TIPS, and a 5% long USD position. Looking forward, the authors analyze yield curve spreads under a scenario where the Fed cuts the policy rate to ~3%. They conclude that while 2-Year yields have fully priced in these cuts, 10-Year yields are unsustainably low at 3.75% and should rise to approximately 4.60% to reflect historical averages. They advise caution on long duration in the near term but highlight that a rise in yields toward 4.60% will present an attractive buying opportunity for bond investors entering 2025.
