[Asset Management Firms: Short- and Medium-Term Bonds Attractive Amid Middle East Conflict] ⑴ Francois Rimeu of Credit Mutuel Asset Management stated in a report that short- and medium-term bonds offer attractive investment opportunities amid the ongoing Middle East conflict. ⑵ Rimeu said, "We believe that if the crisis continues, European central banks will not be able to raise interest rates as significantly as the market currently expects." ⑶ Data shows that market pricing reflects expectations of two 25-basis-point rate hikes by the European Central Bank in 2026, and one rate hike by the Bank of England before the end of the year.
