“When you look at inflation expectation, or what is priced in for central banks, the market has been aggressive in repricing policy rates higher this year and also short-term inflation expectation. That has moderated a bit in Europe but there is still some juice there so we prefer in credit and sovereign the short-term part of the curve which is where we see the most room for repricing if the Strait of Hormuz reopens and if the oil flow normalises”

“The fact that the market is still expecting the Strait of Hormuz to reopen and energy flow to normalise means that the short-term inflation swap rate has not priced in the worst scenario: a Strait of Hormuz that continues to be shut at the end of May - causing more disruption, demand shortage and demand destruction, which means the economic impact could be more severe in terms of price and economic growth.”
