- In today’s Morning Views publication we comment on developments of the following high yield issuers: Vista Land & Lifescapes, Rakuten Group, Vedanta Resources, Tata Steel
- UST yields rose on Friday, led by the front end. There was a lack of catalysts, due to non-publication of the September nonfarm payrolls amid the government shutdown, albeit private surveys showed weakening US services data. Yields on the 2Y and 10Y USTs rose 4 bps each to 3.58% and 4.12%, respectively. Equities were mixed, with the S&P 500 stable at 6,716, while the Nasdaq fell 0.3% to 22,781.
- Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party has elected former economic security minister Sanae Takaichi as its new leader, making the 64-year-old likely to become the country’s first female prime minister. Ms Takaichi replaces Shigeru Ishiba, who resigned as prime minister last month after the party suffered two election blows (including losing its majority in the Lower House).
