Longer-dated fixed-income yields at risk of rising, Capital Economics says<\/p>\n

Long-dated government bonds of 10 years or more “have been under serious pressure at times this year,” thanks to waning demand from traditional buyers, “we doubt it’s coming back,” Capital Economics head of markets for Asia-Pacific Thomas Mathews wrote Tuesday. <\/p>\n

The problem is that central banks themselves \u2014 as part of their move to normalize monetary policy and reduce their balance sheets \u2014 have stepped back from supporting the longer end of the market since the days of Quantitative Easing and zero interest rate policy. <\/p>\n

“They’d provided a key source of demand for government bonds across the curve, and in many places held a very large share of the market. Demand has picked up from other sources to offset this reduction in demand from central banks. But, it hasn’t mostly been from institutions that typically purchase very-long-dated government bonds,” Mathews wrote.<\/p>\n

“In the absence of genuine fiscal adjustment, which generally seems unlikely to us, we suspect that the very long end of the curve will remain volatile. And there’s a good chance that yields rise will again, at least for a while,” Mathews added.<\/p>\n
