Credit Crunch: AI IPOs, Tech Supply and Credit Without Peace

Credit continues to rally despite the lack of a US-Iran peace deal, and it has served as a safe haven relative to rates. In this Credit Crunch podcast, host Mahesh Bhimalingam, global head of credit strategy at Bloomberg Intelligence, and Souheir Asba, credit portfolio manager at AllianceBernstein, discuss how hyperscaler issuance and upcoming IPOs could affect the credit landscape through index and portfolio changes, and how investors should position for this wave of supply. They also compare credit performance with rates since the Iran war began, assess relative value across investment-grade, high-yield and rates markets and share sector outlooks and views on AT1s and corporate hybrids. The Credit Crunch podcast is part of BI’s FICC Focus series. Listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
