  Rising Bond Yields, European Credit Risk and the Fed Outlook

  Oct 2, 20268 minS2026

  Rising bond yields and widening European credit spreads are sharpening the focus on fiscal pressures and interest rates. Matt Jones and Neil Staines assess the implications for global markets and the key economic releases and central bank signals to watch in the week ahead. In the UK, stronger Q2 GDP sits alongside persistent energy price pressures and elevated government borrowing costs. With 30-year gilt yields reaching 6.07%, attention turns to potential contagion from European bond markets and the growth, inflation and fiscal challenges facing the 28 October budget. In Europe, French budget proposals have unsettled credit markets, with Italian spreads also widening. Could these pressures temper the European Central Bank’s hawkish tone? September ECB minutes, policy speeches and services PMIs will provide further context. The global calendar also brings Bank of Japan commentary, expectations for a December rate rise, Brazil’s election and an anticipated Reserve Bank of India hike. In the US, payrolls, ISM services and trade data will help assess the growth outlook, including how AI investment feeds through to imports. Federal Reserve meeting minutes will inform the interest rate debate, while the approaching Q3 earnings season will offer fresh evidence on earnings growth and higher funding costs.

  Energy, Inflation and a Crucial Week for Global Central Banks

  Sep 11, 20269 minS2026

  Energy prices are reshaping the global inflation and interest-rate outlook, with oil and natural gas feeding through to bond markets and central-bank expectations. Matt Jones and Neil Staines discuss the week ahead, beginning in the UK, where July GDP surprised to the upside. Neil remains cautious about extrapolating the rebound, however, as renewed rises in oil and, importantly for Europe, natural gas tighten financial conditions and contribute to higher gilt yields. Attention turns to UK employment, inflation and retail sales, alongside a Bank of England meeting that is expected to leave rates unchanged, with November increasingly in focus. The ECB raised rates by 25 basis points to 2.5%, with Christine Lagarde highlighting downside risks to growth and upside risks to inflation. Markets are now pricing further tightening, while next week also brings a closely watched Bank of Japan meeting, China data, inflation releases from India and Poland, and a Brazilian policy decision. In the US, renewed geopolitical tensions and higher oil prices have contributed to a sharp rise in Treasury yields and wider pressure across global bond markets. The US inflation print will be critical for the Federal Reserve outlook, while still-low volatility across equities, credit and FX leaves Neil focused on the potential value of long-volatility strategies.

  Global Yields, UK Fiscal Risk and the Fed Outlook

  Sep 4, 20269 minS2026

  Global yield curves remain at the centre of the macro debate as markets weigh higher energy prices, fiscal pressures and the outlook for central bank policy. Matt Jones and Neil Staines discuss recent bond-market selling, the ECB’s expected 25bp rate hike to 2.5%, and the growing interaction between fiscal policy, inflation and tighter financial conditions across the Eurozone. In the UK, attention turns to fiscal credibility ahead of the Budget and the Bank of England’s next policy update, with the economy still appearing too weak to support further rate hikes. They also look at the outlook for the yen and Bank of Japan policy, rising inflation risks in Australia, and a busy global calendar of inflation data and central bank meetings. In the US, payrolls, inflation and debt sustainability remain central to the outlook. With markets reassessing the path for Federal Reserve policy, next week’s CPI release could prove important for rate expectations, financial conditions and the broader growth outlook.

  Payrolls, UK Fiscal Uncertainty and the Global Policy Outlook

  Aug 28, 20268 minS2026

  US payrolls take centre stage as markets turn from Federal Reserve policy back to the data, while UK fiscal uncertainty and global inflation developments shape the wider macro outlook. Matt Jones and Neil Staines preview the week ahead for professional investors. In the UK, recent employment and retail sales data remain weak, while underlying services and wage pressures are moderating despite elevated headline inflation. The monetary policy implications remain neutral to dovish, but the fiscal outlook is less certain as Prime Minister Burnham faces his first Prime Minister’s Questions. Eurizon SLJ Capital remains cautious on the UK macro outlook into September and beyond. Globally, attention turns to Australian inflation projections, an expected 25-basis-point RBNZ rate increase, Japanese retail sales and industrial production, and China’s August PMI data. In the Eurozone, August flash inflation arrives ahead of the ECB’s September meeting, while natural gas prices could prove increasingly important for the monetary policy path beyond September. In the US, the focus shifts decisively back to the economic data following the latest policy update from Fed Chair Warsh. JOLTS, ISM manufacturing and services, ADP payrolls, the Federal Reserve Beige Book and the trade balance all lead into Friday’s non-farm payrolls report, with the labour market a key input into the Fed reaction function and the US yield curve. Neil also looks ahead to the long bank holiday weekend, including rugby, cricket, Premier League football, Notting Hill Carnival and Reading Festival.
