BulletCredit Bullets
  • Asian stocks traded in a narrow range as investors weighed potential new US curbs on chip sales to China and awaited possible stimulus measures from Beijing. Mainland China and Hong Kong equities declined after a recent rally, while Japanese stocks rose on gains in chip-related shares and a weaker yen. Korean shares fluctuated following a surprise interest rate cut by the central bank. Meanwhile, US equities slipped overnight as an acceleration in the Fed's preferred inflation measure supported a cautious stance on rate cuts, the NASDAQ led losses overnight with Dell and HP plunging nearly 12% after reporting disappointing sales

The recently issued BNP deal is now trading 20-22bps wider, while the new CBA T2 is trading +13bp, New Goodman is trading +5bps & Aurizon is +4bps. Spreads were trading at tightest levels in years heading into the past two week, but with a flurry of primary activity clients look to be a bit full, Dealers also seem full heading into year-end, while account that are looking to fund any of the recent issues have had to offload deal pushing everything even wider, BNP has been the worst performing with many accounts full on the name after they printed an earlier T2 deal only a few months ago.
