Asian Bond Monitor: Chinese Bonds Are Back
- Asian USD high-yield bonds have outperformed on an improving sentiment toward emerging market credits.
- China 5-year CDS has declined 14 bps since June and we expect non-property Chinese credits to have more capital inflow on the hunt for a better yield.
- We are in favor of Chinese high-yield credits with recurring revenue and operate in more defensive industries such as consumer non-discretionary, utilities, and pharmaceuticals.
