Executive Summary

  • Spreads widened by 1bp, though they remain near multi-decade lows.  Weaker Consumer Discretionary and Communications sector earnings weighed on spreads in those sectors.
  • In macro, government yields bear steepened, compounded by a firm NFP release
  • Fund flows remained small positive in credit. The pattern of US inflows and outflows elsewhere continued in equities.
  • Supply came in above $40B estimates, with 32 issuers pricing over $50B, led by Mastercard’s $5b five-part deal.
