  • State Grid Corporation of China priced a $2.8bn-equivalent four-tranche deal on Tuesday, managing to navigate the impact of the benchmark 10 year US Treasury yields finally breaching 3% after days of sell-off.
  • Higher oil prices, a new governing regime and an agreement with the International Monetary Fund are all expected to boost demand for the Republic of Angola’s first Eurobond since 2015, though there is a question mark over how receptive the market will be for long dated debt.
  • Vietnamese conglomerate Vingroup Joint Stock Company is seeking a $400m loan for its newly established car manufacturing business.
  • Several Chinese real estate companies, including Sunac China Holdings and Central China Real Estate, took advantage of relatively stable markets to ride the dollar issuance momentum this week. But supply pressure meant that many saw their bonds then trade under water.
  • United Overseas Bank’s subsidiary in China has printed its first bond in the country, a Rmb1bn ($159m) three year note. The Singaporean lender joins a small group of foreign financial institutions that have raised onshore funding through their China arms.
  • Four high yield property companies, Sunac China Holdings, Central China Real Estate, Jingrui Holdings and Yanlord Land Group, raised a total of $2.05bn on Monday, with some of them focusing on price and the others on size. But irrespective of their strategy, recent heavy supply pushed their bonds lower in the secondary market.
  • Chinese property developers are rushing to sell dollar bonds as momentum picks up and the market stabilises. While heavy supply is weighing on investors’ minds, their familiarity with the sector and issuers’ willingness to pay up may be able to safeguard the deals.
  • Industrial and Commercial Bank of China’s Singapore branch aims to underwrite IPOs of Chinese companies in the city-state after receiving accreditation as an issue manager from the Singapore Exchange.
  • Chinese real estate companies Cifi Holdings Group Co and Fujian Yango Group Co rolled out three year dollar bonds on Thursday, paying investors hefty premiums to get their deals done.
  • Pakistan is back in the offshore syndicated loan market for a $450m facility led by two banks.
  • China Jinmao Holdings has launched a HK$4bn ($509m) loan into syndication through a group of lenders that include the country’s big four state-owned commercial banks.
  • The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia printed its $11bn bond on Tuesday, which several bankers and investors thought had been timed to maximise disruption of Qatar’s return to market, which is also expected this week. But leads said the modest size taken by Saudi from a $50bn book showed that there was no intention of throwing the capital markets into disarray.
