报告摘要

FOMC Meeting: Fed kept policy rates unchanged, with hawkish statement offset by dovish press conference. No expected rate cuts until mid-year; QT extended to 3Q25.
Treasuries: Front-end unwound due to Fed bias, but long positioning bearsish; recommend 5s/10s flatteners and SYxSY inflation swap shorts. Curve steepness driven by tariff risks.
Yield Curve: Expect narrowing bias, especially for belly swaps; recommend 5-year swap spread narrowers and curve flatteners.
Interest Rate Derivatives: Sell 3Mx5Y straddles delta-hedged bi-weekly due to stable Fed expectations; expect range-bound yields with mean reversion.
Short Duration: SOFR moderation anticipated, but T-bill supply may cause volatility; recommend monitoring funding markets.
Securitized Products: Mortgages modestly outperformed due to lower vol; MBS spread attractiveness increased vs JGBs.
Corporates: HG spreads tight on resilient growth; Euro HG outperformed USD HG due to benign issuance and French budget progress; HY spreads widened slightly.
Cross-Asset Monitor: Market trends indicate mixed views, with high grade liquidity rising but spreads tighter overall.

Duration: Neutral overall after unwinding front-end longs; cautious on long-end given stretched positions.
Transactions: 5s/10s flatteners recommended; inflation swaps maintained for asymmetry on curve movements.
Risks: Tariff uncertainty elevated; economic data releases, especially labor reports, set tone.

Key dates: Non-farm payrolls (2/5), ISM Manufacturing (2/3), JOLTS (2/4), tariff announcements pending.
Market outlook: Uncertainty from potential trade shocks; Fed on hold period supports current stance.

This summary captures the core insights from the J.P. Morgan analysis for the US fixed income market as of 31 January 2025.
