    Meta, Comcast line up; April closes with $65.7bn  

    IG new issuance (ex-SSA) saw $16.85bn price in the last week of April – roughly matching expectations. April closed with just $65.7bn -well under the $100bn anticipated. Hefty FIG issuance did account for a good portion of the month’s issuance with supply led by BofA ($8.5bn 2-part) and Morgan Stanley ($7.5bn 3-part).

     

    Meanwhile week over week, IG corporate spreads widened out 2bps to 140bps while high yield spreads widened 4bps to 450bps, according to the ICE BofA Masters indexes.

     

    For the coming week, surveys expect around $30bn to $35bn and for the month of May, around $135bn, sources say. Today already sees multi-tranches from Meta Platforms and Comcast.
