BLOOMBERG INTELLIGENCE
About this episode

Investment grade had a sustained good run in the past four months with spreads compressing all the way combined with bumper supply in the new year.

Please join Mahesh Bhimalingam, Chief European Credit Strategist, Bloomberg Intelligence as he discusses the investment grade market with Heema Patel, Credit Strategy Associate at Bloomberg Intelligence.


We discuss the place of high grade relative to rates as well as high yield, this year's record supply, valuations, upcoming ECB QT and its impact on high grade, along with high grade ratings and fundamentals in detail.
