    IG issuers flood back in after PCE  

    IG new issuance (ex-SSA) saw $22.5bn price in the shortened week last week, a tad under the $25bn that had been expected. Thursday saw the busiest session of the week as $13.875bn priced while Friday’s strong PCE reading caused would be issuers to stay on the sidelines, sources say.

     

    Week over week, IG corporate spreads widened 2bps to 128bps while high yield spreads narrowed 10bps to 428bps, according to the ICE BofA Masters indexes.

     

    Today is off to a strong start with more than a dozen issuers announcing, though many of them smaller size. Yankee FIG issuance today includes NatWest and Lloyds. For the coming week, surveys expect a robust $40bn. February MTD currently stands at $120.55bn, already above the $100bn that was anticipated.
