Outlook for the week
Key economic releases for the week
Last week summary
Activity in the Asia primary debt market was largely muted as the market digests the impact of Trump’s ban on investments in securities related to the Chinese military. ChemChina bonds widened 35-60bps on Monday as a result. Meanwhile, Chinese regulators are beginning to tighten their grip on the bond markets, announcing a ban on companies subscribing to their own debt issuances.
