Fixed Income (March)

– Fixed income markets came under pressure during the month as the conflict with Iran escalated. Despite a broader risk-off market, interest rates rose due to growing concerns of inflation reigniting and the outlook for Federal Reserve rate cuts diminished.

– Credit markets were not immune to the risk-off sentiment as spreads widened during the month. Weaker labor market data and growing concerns of slowing growth were drivers of the weakness.
