With higher US Treasury yields, rising hedging costs, a falling dollar, and signs that the ECB will end QE in September foreign demand for US credit is slowing, see chart below. Expect this to continue going forward. Happy to discuss further, let your DB sales contact know. {cid:[email protected]} Let us know if you would like to add a colleague to this distribution list.
