"Bianco Research moved to neutral duration as Iran conflict drives oil near $100 and 10-year yields above 4.25%. Maintaining underweight credit while positioning conviction trades in TIPS, high-yield, and EM debt for snapback recovery when Strait of Hormuz reopens and conflict resolves."
Bianco Research shifted to neutral duration positioning in response to Iran conflict driving oil prices near $100 and yields above 4.25%. The committee maintains its view of a strong U.S. economy with sticky inflation well above the Fed's 3% target, but geopolitical developments required tactical adjustments. Key positioning changes include moving from 90% relative duration to neutral, exiting the bullet curve steepening strategy that stalled around 55bps, and maintaining 70% underweight in investment-grade corporates. Conviction positions were resized to reflect current dynamics, with emerging market local debt suffering from dollar safe-haven demand but positioned for rebound upon conflict resolution. The committee focuses on Strait of Hormuz reopening as the key catalyst, expecting normalization of tanker transit to signal the worst has passed. Portfolio maintains 5% short-term TIPS for inflation protection, 2% interest rate hedged high-yield, and 3% emerging market local debt to capitalize on expected snapback when geopolitical tensions ease.
