Global liquidity is driving indiscriminate demand for yield

Conviction: 68% · Horizon: 12M · 2026-05-07
Excess liquidity is compressing risk premiums and mispricing weak sovereign and structured debt

Capital is flowing into increasingly fragile or unconventional bond structures because the system is saturated with dollars, collateral expansion, and policy support that dampens volatility. That environment can keep spreads tight temporarily, but it also creates asymmetric downside in long-duration and lower-quality debt once term premium or credit discipline returns.

Instrument Side Target Reason
TLT Short We believe long-duration government bonds remain vulnerable because artificially compressed volatility and abundant liquidity have encouraged investors to underprice duration risk. If term premium rises or inflation and funding pressures persist, long-end bond prices can fall materially even without a credit event.
