Market development

Per 31-05-2026

May saw a marked improvement in market sentiment, as fears of a prolonged Middle East conflict eased. Hopes for a US-Iran agreement grew throughout the month, driving Brent crude oil down from above USD 114/bbl in early May to around USD 92/bbl by month-end. Lower energy prices helped reduce inflation concerns and supported both risk assets and fixed income markets. Sovereign yields initially moved higher, with several major markets reaching multi-year highs amid persistent inflation concerns and geopolitical uncertainty. However, yields reversed course into month-end as expectations for de-escalation improved and inflation fears moderated. US Treasury and European government bond markets both finished the month stronger. Credit markets also benefited from the more constructive backdrop. Investment grade spreads tightened in both the US and Europe, supported by improving risk appetite, resilient economic data, and lower oil prices. The combination of easing macro risks and stronger market sentiment resulted in positive excess returns across credit markets.

Expectation of fund manager

Daniel Ender

Joost Breeuwsma

The macro backdrop entering Q2 is shaped by a stagflationary impulse that is not fully priced in by markets. With Brent near USD 100/bbl, the inflation-growth trade-off has deteriorated sharply, particularly in Europe and Asia where energy dependence is highest. The Fed retains an easing bias but rate cuts are largely priced out for 2026, while the ECB faces a tougher trade-off, with hikes a tail risk if disruption proves persistent. Against this backdrop, credit spreads remain tight and offer limited compensation for a multi-month Hormuz disruption, rising private credit stress, and AI-driven business model pressure in software. We keep portfolio beta close to neutral and do not chase spreads. Alpha is driven by issuer selection: we favor HALO exposures in energy infrastructure, metals, and critical networks, and remain constructive on well-capitalized European banks. We avoid BDCs and private-credit-linked insurers, stay underweight in software in high yield, and prefer BB over B in EM as dispersion widens.
