After a stunning “everything rally” in the fourth quarter, U.S. fixed income markets took a breather to start 2024. As illustrated in the chart below, interest rates increased across the yield curve, as investors dialed back expectations of significant Federal Reserve interest rate cuts in 2024. The result was modest gains for shorter-duration and more credit-sensitive sectors of the market and small to moderate losses for intermediate and longer-duration bonds.

AbstractGenes from ancient families are sometimes involved in the convergent evolutionary origins of similar traits, even across vast phylogenetic distances. Sulfotransferases are an ancient family of enzymes that transfer sulfate from a donor to a wide variety of substrates, including probable roles in some bioluminescence systems.

With economic growth accelerating in the third quarter, it appears the consensus has finally abandoned recession island in favor of higher-for-longer island. This shift in narrative played out as expected, with U.S. Treasury yields rising (see chart below), particularly at the long end of the yield curve (10- and 30-year maturities). While cash/T-bills and other shorter-duration investments held up, the result was mostly negative returns for the broad fixed income markets.

AbstractDeterminism and contingency shape evolutionary trajectories and the extent to which evolution is predictable depends on the relative contribution of each. However, the causes of predictable evolution are poorly understood. Here we take advantage of the fact that gene family recruitment may be more deterministic, and therefore predictable, when functional evolution is constrained to fewer genetic solutions.

Investors, particularly fixed income, went into the second quarter on high alert for a recession and thinking the Fed could soon be cutting short-term interest rates, or at least pausing its yearlong tightening cycle to combat inflationary pressures.
