IHS Markit Global Fixed Income Monthly Focus - January 2017

Date 01/03/2017

At first glance, markets looked in better than expected shape in January, with multiple positive signs throughout the month. Emerging market spreads were tighter over the month despite the new US administration taking office and prior fears of EM capital flight. Major financings for Petrobras and Argentina along with multiple other sovereigns were accompanied by a healthy and growing range of Latin American corporate borrowers together with Chinese corporate supply. European supply saw heavy oversubscription for sovereign benchmark deals for Spain, Belgium and Italy throughout the month. Markets also absorbed the start of what is expected to be very sizeable banking sector supply to meet TLAC and MREL requirements for instruments which can be bailed in, without financial sector spreads showing signs of significant adjustment.

Opening Statement On Request For Comment On Possible Revisions To Statistical And Other Disclosures Affecting Registrants In The Financial Services Industry, SEC Acting Chairman Michael S. Piwowar

Date 01/03/2017

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis once wrote, “sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman.” Yet lightbulbs must be replaced from time to time. Sometimes the glow fades; other times, they simply break. When we have the opportunity to replace with a bulb that is cheaper and more efficient, we should do so. Today, the Commission considers four staff recommendations, each of which seeks to focus the light of disclosure in ways that both empower investors to make independent and informed financial decisions and make regulation more efficient, effective and appropriately tailored.

Opening Statement On Proposed Amendment To Rule 15c2-12, SEC Acting Chairman Michael S. Piwowar

Date 01/03/2017

We now turn to the recommendation from the Office of Municipal Securities to propose rule amendments that would improve public access to information about certain financial obligations incurred by issuers of municipal securities and obligated persons outside the public offering process. To promote efficient pricing of a municipal issuer’s outstanding securities, investors and other market participants should have access to current information about a municipal issuer’s financial condition and the creation of risks that impact existing security holders. By facilitating timely access to important information about a municipal issuer’s financial obligations, today’s proposal seeks to equip investors making investment decisions and market participants undertaking credit analyses with continuing disclosures to better assess a municipal issuer’s overall indebtedness and creditworthiness.
