The global economic impact of COVID-19 deepened in April, with many countries now expected to see GDP contract in 2020. That said, credit and equity markets were buoyed by central bank stimulus and more positive headlines on the pandemic. This month, we consider the effect of this unprecedented event on the investor psyche, which could heighten risk aversion for some time and weigh heavily on Asian HY corporate credit. We also present a trade idea for Chinese property bonds, where we see promise amid the current uncertainty. The Asia Monthly focuses on providing updates on recent events, information on new issues and spread movements, as well as summarising our top picks and discussing specific areas of interest in the “In-Focus” section. The Asia Monthly is intended to broaden investors' understanding of the Asian USD high-yield market.

The spread of COVID-19 and, to a lesser degree, the oil price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia overshadowed most other issues in March. These twin shocks are posing unprecedented challenges to the Asian HY market. Against this backdrop, we look at recent developments in China, where the pandemic began and where the economy seems to be returning to normal. We also evaluate the liquidity of each name in our coverage universe, in view of the uncertainties that prevail with respect to the macro and business-specific impact of the current situation.
