Investors were "hugely receptive" to Hypo Noe’s seven year Pfandbrief issued on Tuesday, suggesting it is only a matter of time before another borrower tests demand further along the curve with a 10 year covered bond — which would be the first since early March, before the coronavirus pandemic disrupted markets. Reopening such long dated funding would provide a compelling alternative to using central bank liquidity.
