本周市场最大变化是美联储一致决定自2023年以来首次加息,经济预测摘要(SEP)更偏鹰派,中位数委员预计年内还将加息一次,并在2027年大部分时间维持利率不变,长期中性利率中位数升至3.25%,为2016年以来最高。会后短端收益率上行6个基点,曲线整体趋平8个基点,大部分变动发生在新闻发布会期间。作为长期美联储预期代理指标的1年期远期1年期OIS利率大幅上升,已超过2022-2023年加息周期高点,显示市场认同"更高更久"的政策路径。摩根大通美国国债策略团队据此上调年末收益率预测,将2年期美债目标上调40bp至4.7%、10年期目标上调20bp至5.05%。利率衍生品团队指出,近期与中期美联储预期上升解释了曲线趋平的大部分原因,建议以对冲美联储预期波动的方式交易曲线:建立2年期远期2s/10s陡峭化头寸,并搭配70%风险权重的1年期远期2s/10s趋平头寸,该组合同时具备相对价值。

Our proxy for long-run Fed expectations, 1Yx1Y OIS, also rose sharply and is exceeding levels last seen in the '22-'23 hiking cycle. Our UST strategists raised their year-end yield forecasts, in part due to the FOMC's view that growth risk is now skewed to the upside. The increase in near-term and medium-term Fed expectations has explained the majority of the flattening over the past month, and given the recent volatility in Fed expectations, we recommend trading the yield curve in a manner that is hedged for these factors. Initiate 2Y forward 2s/10s steepeners paired with 70% risk-weighted 1Y forward 2s/10s flatteners, whic
