Federal Reserve rate cut expectations are diminishing, with the markets scaling back from their original forecasts of six rate reductions in 2024. BlackRock's Global Co-Head of Bond ETFs Steve Laipply shares his insights on the fixed income landscape amid the growing uncertainty surrounding the Fed's policy path. Laipply acknowledges the "dramatic shift" in rate cut expectations, but believes there could be a single rate cut as soon as November. However, he notes that after that point, "it's unclear" whether any additional cuts beyond that in 2024. Addressing the fixed-income sector, Laipply advises investors "to start moving out of cash and back into fixed income." He acknowledges that the recent Fed tightening cycle had driven investors away from the asset class, but he emphasizes that it will be "impossible for investors to time rate cuts," suggesting that it is now an opportune time to gradually reallocate to fixed income. Laipply outlines three potential scenarios for investors to consider: For those who believe in a soft landing scenario, he recommends "moving back out into broad fixed income." For those who expect inflation to remain stubbornly high, he suggests focusing on treasury exposure and things like short-dated TIPS. For those who anticipate a hard landing, he advises longer duration fixed income assets.
