EUR corporate bonds: a cross-check on valuations

HY default rates: 2016 review and 2017 outlook

The end of US HY “mini” default cycle (almost completely commodity-driven) is approaching. Our regressions point to a significant fall in US default rates from the 6% area to 3.7% by December. No material deviation is expected from the still-benign European default cycle, which is likely to remain stable and low by historical standards in 2017, as well.

CSPP: the real game changer for EUR corporate bonds

The CSPP became operational just a few months ago, but it has already produced dramatic effects on the EUR credit markets. The flexibility of the programme, together with its sustained purchase trajectory, which is spread widely on a very large number of bonds that cover all IG ratings, curve buckets and sectors with issuers from many countries, contributed to the effectiveness of the CSPP.
