updates: The article discusses the opportunities in corporate bonds and the outlook for bonds in 2024. The portfolio manager, Pablo Martinez, states that bond yields are finally attractive after years of low rates. He expects the bond market to trade in a range for 2024, with no significant increase or decrease in yields. The U.S. and Canadian economies are expected to slow down due to the impact of cumulative interest rate increases. Inflation remains sticky, which will prevent rates from moving down quickly. However, corporate bonds can benefit from higher inflation as it increases revenue and reduces the real cost of coupon payments. The article also highlights the opportunities in the short end of the corporate bond market, where short-term securities offer higher yields and are trading at a discount. Martinez recommends more conservative sectors such as energy, telecom, and infrastructure, while being cautious about retail and office REITs. Investors are advised to diversify their portfolios with fixed-income securities and stay away from expensive parts of the market. Overall, bonds are seen as a more secure and attractive investment compared to riskier assets at the top of the cycle.

updates: JPMorgan Chase & Co. strategists predict that the rally in Treasuries will resume after a period of consolidation.

The strategists anticipate solid support for the yield at 4.25% to 4.30%, where they expect material buying pressure. Goldman Sachs, on the other hand, sees the 10-year yield hovering around 4% due to a growth rebound, progress on lowering inflation, and anticipation of increased Treasury auction sizes. The JPMorgan strategists also predict a decline in yields throughout 2024, with the 10-year yield potentially falling back to the 3.65% to 3.70% range in the coming months.
