In this latest video update, Phil Apel, Head of Fixed Income, reviews European current fixed income market trends and provides an outlook for the bond market throughout 2015. Apel reflects that during Q1, global bond markets were positively driven by the actions of the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank (ECB) resulting in bonds yields generally falling, and good returns for government bond markets. It has also resulted in credit markets delivering excess returns over government bonds as investors have continued to intensify the search for yield in Europe. Further, with Europe’s growth on the upswing, Apel expects European bond markets to benefit from positive monetary policy, low rates, quantitative easing, a weaker currency and an improvement in credit demand from consumers throughout 2015.
