We\u2019re not even thinking about thinking about raising rates.\u201d And all indications are that the Fed won\u2019t start thinking about thinking about it for quite some time as there was near-unanimous consensus among officials that rates will need to remain at zero percent for years to come. <\/p> <p>     However, there was considerably less consensus about the economic outlook\u2014which should be expected given what will remain heightened uncertainty\u2014while this week\u2019s stock market selloff serves as a reminder that the road back will be rocky. But even with all of the monetary and fiscal stimulus delivered thus far, the Fed expects GDP to drop by 6.5 percent this year, followed by a five percent rebound next year. One half of the Fed\u2019s dual mandate\u2014price stability\u2014isn\u2019t expected to be achieved over the Fed\u2019s entire forecast horizon as inflation is seen falling short of the two percent target. The other half of the mandate\u2014maximum employment\u2014and the key focus for the Fed, risks falling well short for years as well. <\/p> <p>     Unemployment is only seen falling to 5.5 percent by the end of 2022, which would still be a full two percent above the 2019 low of 3.5 percent. However, there is considerable variability around the Fed\u2019s forecasts. While unemployment is expected to end this year around 9.3 percent, the individual forecasts from Fed officials span from seven percent all the way to 14 percent. The same holds true in the years ahead, but even the most optimistic forecast has the unemployment rate at four percent by the end of 2022; the Fed continues to estimate \u201cfull employment\u201d for the economy as being approximately 4.1 percent. Our view remains that the bar for raising rates is a return to four percent unemployment. <\/p>  <h5>Labor market recovery not expected for years<\/h5> <div class=\"row mb-1-half migrated\">     <div class=\"col-lg-10 col-md-8 col-sm-8 col-xs-10 col-xxs-12\">         <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/giw-june-2020-zero-rate-opportunities-chart-1-in-page.png\" alt=\"Labor market recovery chart\" class=\"img-fluid mb-2-half\" \/>         <div class=\"row mb-1-half\">             <div class=\"col-md-12\">                  <div class=\"col-sm-12\">                     <div class=\"rbc-display\">                         <hr class=\"d-inline-block mb-quarter mr-quarter mt-0\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; width: 35px; border-top: solid #eaeaea 12px;\">U.S. recession                     <\/div>                 <\/div>                 <div class=\"col-sm-12\">                     <div class=\"rbc-display\">                         <hr class=\"d-inline-block mb-quarter mr-quarter mt-0\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; width: 35px; border-top: solid #d6ce49 12px;\">Range of Fed&#8217;s unemployment forecasts                     <\/div>                 <\/div>                 <div class=\"col-sm-12\">                     <div class=\"rbc-display\">                         <hr class=\"d-inline-block mb-quarter mr-quarter mt-0\" style=\"width: 35px; border-top: solid #87afbf 4px;\">U.S. unemployment rate                     <\/div>                 <\/div>                  <div class=\"col-sm-12\">                     <div class=\"rbc-display\">                         <div class=\"line d-inline-block mr-quarter\" style=\"border-bottom: 3px solid #FCA311; position: relative; width: 35px; vertical-align: super;\">                             <div class=\"b-sun\" style=\"width: 10px;height: 10px;border: 2px solid #444444;position: absolute;content: '';top: -4px;left: 50%;margin-left: -5px;transform: rotate(45deg);\"><\/div>                         <\/div>                         Fed&#8217;s median unemployment forecasts                     <\/div>                 <\/div>             <\/div>         <\/div>         <p class=\"disclaimer\">Source &#8211; RBC Wealth Management, Bloomberg, Federal Reserve<\/p>     <\/div> <\/div>  <p>     The U.S. has officially entered a recession as of Feb.\u2014as determined this week by the Business Cycle Dating Committee of the National Bureau of Economic Research. RBC Economics continues to expect a 35 percent decline in GDP this quarter, followed by a 20 percent rebound in Q3. Should that hold, this recessionary period should last roughly six months\u2014shorter than average, but far deeper. <\/p> <p>     With unemployment expected to remain elevated, combined with low inflation and growth uncertainty, we believe the Fed is only focused on adding further stimulus rather than pulling back in any way. We look for policy changes at the September policy meeting when officials will have more data, and hopefully a more reopened domestic and global economy to support. <\/p> <h4>Lower for longer. Again.<\/h4> <p>     While zero percent interest rates are necessary to support the economic recovery, this environment likely ushers in another multiyear period of low interest rates for investors\u2014and we believe this one may be even more challenging than the last in some ways. <\/p> <p>     During the last stretch of zero-interest-rate Fed policy from 2009 through 2015, the 10-year Treasury yield averaged approximately 2.6 percent; it currently yields just 0.6 percent. Low Treasury yields also mean near-record low yields for other asset classes like corporate and municipal bonds. <\/p> <p>     With respect to yield curve positioning, we shifted to a Neutral stance this week following an extended period of favoring long-duration exposure as yields have declined over the past 18 months. At this point, the outlook for Treasury yields is now roughly balanced, in our view, with the prospect of further quantitative easing, along with the chance that the Fed launches a yield curve control program, likely to anchor rates at or below current levels\u2014while the prospect of improving growth and higher inflation on the back of massive stimulus could offset that and fuel modestly higher yields. At this stage, we are comfortable remaining near benchmark duration targets, or focusing on the intermediate portion of yield curves\u2014approximately between 7\u201320 years. <\/p> <p>     Notably, we would highly recommend avoiding short-duration maturities and rolling over bonds as reinvestment risk will likely remain high. Another way to approach portfolios, and to think about interest rate risk in a low-yield world, is to take advantage of relatively steep yield curves. Using Treasuries as an example, instead of buying a 5-year Treasury that currently yields 0.30 percent, investors can buy a 10-year Treasury that yields near 0.70 percent, and in five years\u2019 time rolls down to become a 5-year security priced to a yield closer to zero percent, particularly if the Fed remains on hold. Investors benefit from both the higher income and the price appreciation of the bond over that horizon\u2014which could then be sold and reinvested. The benefit is more pronounced for higher-yielding credit products. <\/p>  <h5>With the Fed likely stuck at 0%, investors can extend and lock in coupons<\/h5> <div class=\"row mb-1-half migrated\">     <div class=\"col-lg-10 col-md-8 col-sm-8 col-xs-10 col-xxs-12\">         <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/06\/giw-june-2020-zero-rate-opportunities-chart-2-in-page.png\" alt=\"U.S. Treasuries yields, U.S. municipals yields, and U.S. corporates yields chart\" class=\"img-fluid mb-1-half\" \/>         <div class=\"row mb-1-half\">             <div class=\"col-md-12\">                 <div class=\"rbc-display\">                     <div class=\"line d-inline-block mr-quarter\" style=\"border-bottom: 3px solid #585858;position: relative;width: 38px;vertical-align: super;\">                         <div class=\"circle b-grey\" style=\"width: 11px;height: 11px;border-radius: 50%;border: 2px solid #585858;position: absolute;content: '';top: -4px;left: 50%;margin-left: -6px;\"><\/div>                     <\/div>                     U.S. Treasuries                 <\/div>             <\/div>             <div class=\"col-md-12\">                 <div class=\"rbc-display\">                     <div class=\"line d-inline-block mr-quarter\" style=\"border-bottom: 3px solid #87afbf;position: relative;width: 38px;vertical-align: super;\">                         <div class=\"circle b-tundra\" style=\"width: 11px;height: 11px;border-radius: 50%;border: 2px solid #87afbf;position: absolute;content: '';top: -4px;left: 50%;margin-left: -6px;\"><\/div>                     <\/div>                     U.S. municipals                 <\/div>             <\/div>             <div class=\"col-md-12\">                 <div class=\"rbc-display\">                     <div class=\"line d-inline-block mr-quarter\" style=\"border-bottom: 3px solid #fca311;position: relative;width: 38px;vertical-align: super;\">                         <div class=\"circle b-sun\" style=\"width: 11px;height: 11px;border-radius: 50%;border: 2px solid #fca311;position: absolute;content: '';top: -4px;left: 50%;margin-left: -6px;\"><\/div>                     <\/div>                     U.S. corporates                 <\/div>             <\/div>         <\/div>         <p class=\"disclaimer\">Source &#8211; RBC Wealth Management, Bloomberg; tax-equivalent yield shown for municipals assuming 40% tax rate, but will differ based on individual investor tax rates<\/p>     <\/div> <\/div>  <p>     In a low-yield world, fixed income portfolios will require a more active approach to generate income and total return.
