Prescient favors South African bonds as real yields exceed 4%
Bitget2026/10/28 10:38- Prescient Management favors South African cash and bonds entering the fourth quarter of 2026, with developed and emerging market equities underweight.
- South African 10-year real yields exceed 4%; real cash rates stand above 2.5%.
- US Treasury repricing reflects higher expected real rates, not unanchored inflation expectations; short-dated bonds remain favored over the neutral long end.
- Elevated valuations underpin negative global equity signals; South African equities retain a moderately positive rating on valuation discounts and currency support.
- Equity exposure remains capitalization-weighted without caps; excess returns are sought through fixed income rather than reducing index concentration.
