Fund Flows

CREDIT MACRO
Credit BulletsBulletHomepagemarkets-real-timeCredit
  • IG across €/$ & £ saw negligible outflows for the week ending Wednesday. €HY saw small outflows while $HY saw strong inflows. Little evidence of that divergence in HY spreads/yields for secondary; BB & B spreads held flat across both regions while yields moved in.
  • Again, hard to be concerned about flat flows; though we saw some widening on supply (see Autos) headline €IG spreads end +1 (corps +2, fins flat) through a bumper week of supply – that mirrors $IG's resilience from last week. Supply Expectations for next week (bbg surveyed) are at €25b for €/£ IG & HY (incl. covered), a tad lower than the ~€30b expected this week (actual €45b) while $IG is flat at $25b vs. this week’s $25-$30b (actual $28b).
  • There has been plenty of coverage this week on pickup in reverse yankee supply. We won't add to that & note the main drivers are MPol expectations driving rate differentials, €IG spread outperformance (below), cross currency/hedging costs & general pick-up in US corporate supply.
  • Outside credit, US equity inflows & govvie inflows continued across both regions. Rates are coming back out from post April US retail sales rally/weakness but still -10bps in on the week, Bunds will end little changed.
  • Our credit matched equity baskets are holding flat, surprising resilience through the US April retail sales miss; control at -0.3% MoM (vs. c+0.1%) after strong March (1.1% to 1%). On a real (headline) basis our economist only saw a partial reversal to March levels & may be helping limit read-through for now. We would note we are seeing similar (& broad) weakness in Bloomberg tracked US card data for April (again nominal).
  • Finally Refinitiv reported on April fund flows in Europe; Mutual funds saw +€15.7b vs. ETFs +€11.4b with bonds and money market funds leading gains. Mixed asset & equity funds saw outflows. They have highlighted the move towards ETFs & away from mutual (passive saw smaller inflows than ETFs & active saw outflows) - potential signs of rotation there but Corporate bond funds did not seem to make the cut for top 10 inflow or outflows (somewhat in line with the muted flows we've seen this month).
