Bond Markt 2026 – Ein Jahr klarer Signale und außergewöhnlicher Chancen

Der globale Rentenmarkt startet mit einer bemerkenswert starken Ausgangslage in das Jahr 2026. Nach mehreren Jahren der Unsicherheit, starken Zinsbewegungen und einer herausfordernden Inflationsdynamik hat sich ein Umfeld etabliert, das für Anleiheinvestoren so attraktiv ist wie seit Jahrzehnten nicht mehr. Die Renditen sind vergleichsweise hoch, die Fundamentaldaten solide, und die makroökonomischen Parameter senden klare Signale. Für Anleger entsteht damit ein Markt, der zugleich berechenbarer und vielschichtiger geworden ist – eine seltene Kombination.

Currency's Comeback

The return of interest-rate volatility across the global economy and sharp currency shifts have reminded many investors of the potential for adding value through foreign exchange (FX). We look at three aspects of FX markets, starting with potential pressure points for the US dollar. We also outline why, contrary to much market opinion, we believe the outlook for many emerging markets currencies looks comparatively positive. Finally, we examine potential alpha-generating currency hedging opportunities that rely less on directional currency views to realize value.
