MNI Credit Weekly: Buyer Beware
Executive Summary: Buyer Beware
- Euro credit spreads tightened a further 3bp on the week. Earnings season has been mostly supportive so far; even Autos performed this week despite some bearish updates.
- Event risk is probably more in focus now following the DoJ’s successful block of Tapestry and Capri merging. 101 event call risk inflicted pain on bondholders.
- Rates markets diverged with dovish pricing in Europe post-ECB and the reverse action in the US where retail sales and Trump victory odds were in focus. Peripheral spreads had a firm week.
- Primary was subdued again with blackout. Heimstaden Bostad wasted no time mandating a deal within hours of earnings. It’s been one of the best performing curves this year.
