Sovereign issuers roundtable: Getting ahead of the steepening curve

The first half of the year was an eventful and volatile one in the government bond market, and the second half threatens more uncertainty. Sovereign issuers are dealing with steeper curves as investors demand higher term premia. Meanwhile, deficit dynamics are shifting, especially as some countries face up to higher defence and infrastructure spending.

As volatility continues to plague the US Treasury market, public sector issuers have found themselves at the centre of attention of investors seeking high quality, liquid assets as an alternative investment to US Treasuries. Market participants eagerly await further evidence in the coming months of any meaningful shift in investors’ behaviour. The early signs are certainly encouraging, writes Addison Gong
