We continue to envisage a “No Recession Yet Tricky” situation prevailing for the rest of the year and expect a deeper “search-for-yield” environment is likely to take hold.  The Federal Reserve has become significantly more dovish, presaging what we believe will be a move towards some form of price-level targeting and cementing the case for low real and nominal interest rates. Together with the European Central Bank staying very accommodative, this cements the outlook for rates remaining low-for-longer against a backdrop of stabilising global growth.
