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.

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.
