“Quand il pleut, c'est le deluge.” That’s French for when it rains, it pours. That’s what came to mind this quarter, another period when the rain not only didn’t end, it intensified.


The 3rd quarter opened robustly in July, with all EM indices rallying through month-end and our short-duration strategy ahead of its benchmark by 50 bps. But the party ended abruptly on August 1st as Fitch became the second rating agency to downgrade the U.S. to 'AA+' from 'AAA' in light of potential political infighting that could lead to a government shutdown. This surprise happened not many weeks from the Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse rescues, creating more gyrations in the bond markets and left many on Wall Street feeling rates will be “higher for longer” than what many had forecasted in just the 1st quarter.
