JPMorgan Asset Management Starts Buying Long-End US, Japan, Australia Bonds

JPMorgan Asset Management global fixed income head Bob Michele said his team has begun buying long-end government bonds in the US, Japan and Australia, calling current prices “really too cheap” and the market at its “point of maximum pain.” Michele cited central bank rate hikes by the ECB, Fed and BOJ, plus possible Middle East stabilization, as supports. He said recent Treasury selling was excessive and called Treasury Secretary Bessent’s long-bond buyback plan an important stabilizing force.

A major asset manager publicly calling long-end government bonds "really too cheap" and buying them is a notable shift in tone, especially after a stretch of heavy Treasury selling. The reasoning leans on the idea that the pain from central bank hikes is largely priced in, and that official support — including a long-bond buyback plan — can help stabilize the market. What matters now is whether this remains a lone call or whether other large managers follow, since that would signal a broader reassessment of long-duration risk.
