Allspring Urges Focus on Short‑Term Yields as Fed Meeting Looms

Allspring Global Investments' global macro strategist Noah Wise is urging investors to keep their focus on the front of the yield curve.

Short‑Term Treasury Gains Post Fed Decision

Wise told CNBC's "ETF Edge" that "the market is pricing in a couple of Fed hikes, with yields north of 4% and relatively low risk, which we find attractive." This signals a logical shift toward short‑term U.S. Treasuries.

U.S. Credit and LATAM as New Frontiers

Wise added, "We prefer U.S. credit—investment grade or high yield—over European credit at this time," and highlighted that Latin America offers double‑digit yields despite geopolitical risks, presenting an attractive income opportunity.

Tactical Diversification: Short‑Term Treasuries and High‑Yield Markets

■Target short‑term USD Treasuries with >4% yields

■Leverage U.S. high‑yield credit with a 3‑5% risk‑return profile

■Diversify into LATAM’s double‑digit yields

■Capitalize on volatility between Fed meetings

Bora Yalın: Short‑term treasury gains help preserve liquidity amid risk‑on cycles. Meanwhile, U.S. credit and LATAM yields serve as robust tools for strategic diversification in a global risk‑off environment.
