Fixed Income Reset: Why Yield, Credit, and Curve Views Are Evolving

Insight Investment’s Fixed Income Perspectives for Q3 2025 provides a global multi-sector outlook, highlighting key shifts in rates, credit, and curve positioning as inflation moderates and supply-demand dynamics rebalance.

• Curve steepening in focus: Investors are reducing short-end exposure and favouring 10–30Y maturities, especially in U.S. and UK markets where rate cuts are delayed but priced in.

• Credit spreads diverge: IG remains tight, while selective opportunities emerge in HY and structured credit amid improving fundamentals and idiosyncratic repricing.

• Global dispersion widens: APAC and EM debt offer attractive yields and diversification as developed market duration risk normalizes.
