The recent equities rally took a breather on Friday, which alongside news of renewed HSBC Bank plc dominic.kini@hsbcib.com

strikes in the Middle East contributed to weak risk sentiment. In addition, stronger +44 20 7991 5599

than expected payrolls data out of the US helped push Treasury yields higher on

Friday. Despite all this, spreads have been relatively resilient. Most of the

decompression was in CDS rather than cash markets. In the near term, spreads are

likely to take their cue from whether the current ceasefire in the Middle East holds.

EUR credit strength was apparent across sectors and the capital stack, with a slight

steepening bias in the curve, top performing segments reflect the nature of the risk on

move with AT1s, HY and Hybrids leading the way (p6). In the US, all IG sectors

widened last week with Autos & Technology the worst performing sectors (p12).

Looking at recent fund flow data, the pace of outflows from USD IG appears to have

slowed and actually turned into inflows last week as EUR IG outflows intensified (p28).
