"Ninepoint maintains defensive fixed income positioning amid Middle East energy crisis driving inflation and potential Fed rate hikes. Record corporate bond issuance from AI companies pressures credit spreads."
Ninepoint's fixed income team maintains a defensive stance amid Middle East conflict disrupting global energy supplies. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has created oil shortages and price spikes, forcing central banks to consider rate hikes despite economic growth concerns. While North American economies have energy advantages, Europe and Asia face both higher prices and supply shortages. The Fed may abandon rate cut expectations and embark on another hiking cycle if energy-driven inflation persists and broadens. Credit markets face pressure from record corporate bond issuance, led by AI hyperscalers with massive funding needs. Google issued the largest Canadian corporate bond deal at $8.5 billion. The team maintains low duration positioning and uses derivatives to manage volatility while generating income. Portfolio yields remain healthy at 5-6% despite defensive posture, supported by hybrid bonds and asset-backed securities. The strategy emphasizes nimble duration management and credit protection while awaiting resolution of geopolitical tensions and their economic implications.
