Target Acquired: AU & CA Bonds

Australia and Canada are starting to look more vulnerable to over-tightening than the US.

Both economies have seen headline inflation pressure pick up, but the softer domestic data are becoming harder to ignore. Labour markets are weakening, household momentum looks more fragile, and wage pressure does not look strong enough to justify an aggressive tightening cycle.

The US is different. Growth is still more resilient, inflation is starting to broaden, and the Fed has less room to sound dovish. That makes the US an interesting hedge leg.

The trade idea is not just “buy bonds.”
The cleaner expression is to watch for opportunities to receive rates in Australia and Canada versus paying rates in the US.

That structure reduces outright global duration risk and focuses the trade on the macro divergence:
Australia and Canada look softer; the US still looks stickier.
