MNI Credit Weekly: Festive Frenzy

A strong credit rally as we approach year end.

Executive Summary: Festive Frenzy

  • With our final Credit Weekly of the year, we would like to thank our clients for your support and wish you all a wonderful festive break.
  • The Santa Rally came early with spreads almost 6bp tighter on the week. Beta compression was a strong theme, with the year-long narrative of yield buyers in credit supporting spreads.
  • Today’s employment data left a 25bp December cut all but locked in for the US while France dominated European headlines. Barnier's ouster this week leaves uncertainty on the make-up and policies of a future government, but OATs have already come in meaningful from the wides.
  • Fund flows were firm in EUR IG while HY saw inflows return. Trends in USD remained little changed.
  • Primary saw a small uptick from a very low number last week.
