Credit: the signals markets can’t ignore

Credit markets often process stress before other parts of the market are able to. During periods of volatility, the signals they send can help investors distinguish between shocks that are likely to prove temporary and those that risk becoming more systemic.​In this episode of Barclays Brief, Ronnie Wexler, Head of Equities, sits down with Drew Mogavero, Global Head of Credit Products and CEO of Barclays Capital Inc., to explore why credit markets have remained relatively stable during recent periods of stress. They discuss how investment‑grade and higher quality high yield have continued to find support and what this demand reveals about market conditions. ​The conversation also looks at how credit signals can inform views across equities and rates, where stress tends to emerge first, and what today’s market dynamics reveal about the broader economic backdrop.​​Listeners can hear more on this topic:​​​Processing uncertainty in real time​​Credit markets: What's ahead for 2026​Private credit: Hidden interconnectivity​Clients can read more on Barclays Live:​​Not that quiet beneath the surface​​Woes of waiting ​​​​​Important Content Disclosures​Important non-Research Content Disclosures​
