  • EUR IG and HY saw small outflows. Both segments had inflows in the US, with a skew to HY. Equities remain in favour with Europe seeing particularly strong inflows.
  • €14bn of IG supply landed close to expectations. NICs continue to trend wider. Supply expectations for the week ahead are similar.
