  • Emerging market bond investors have started the year in bullish spirits, market participants said, despite rising in Covid-19 infections across Europe. Investors' thirst for yield means the market is open to all issuers, bankers believe.
  • Equity markets opened on a high on the first day of trading in 2021 and there are hopes that positive macro headwinds will provide strong momentum for equity capital markets deals. This is despite the Covid-19 pandemic still causing concern as cases rise and governments introduce tough restrictions to fight it.
  • The US stimulus package seemed all but a done deal until Tuesday night. The $900bn, 5,593 page bill was passed by both houses and requires only President Donald Trump’s signature to become law. Though this seemed a foregone conclusion, Trump is threatening to withhold his signature unless the size of the relief is increased, not that bond markets seemed fazed by the late upset.
