Executive Summary: 

  • Spreads tightened in the week on growing geopolitical optimism coupled with firm corporate earnings.
  • In macro, economic data remained of secondary importance. Implied rate hikes eased as the U.S.-Iran conflict appeared nearer to a resolution.
  • Fund flows were weak outside USD IG and ongoing strength in US equities.
  • Supply was slightly below $40B estimates, with 25 issuers pricing $37B, led by Eli Lilly’s $9B for M&A.
