  • High yield boom can get loud with election clarity but rates must cooperate
    2024/10/30

    HY issuance recovers but net new credit largely absent

    Spreads in the US high yield market are near the tightest levels ever, providing a constructive read on the US economy. Tight spreads and lower rates have led to a pickup in HY issuance, which recently approached more normal levels, but that has since slowed as rates moved up. And much of the issuance seen has been used for refinancing. The positive is that there could be another leg for issuance as companies sell debt to finance capex or acquisitions. This is the Fed transmission mechanism at work. Oleg discusses the impediments to such a shift and the implications of getting the election behind us. We also discuss private credit, how rapid growth in that market impacts high yield and where Oleg sees the best opportunities.

  • Rising insurance prices becoming as dependable as active storm seasons
    2024/10/30
    Insurance costs should continue to rise in high risk areas

    Insurance is in the news again following two damaging storms. Sadly, for many homeowners, much of the damage won't likely be covered by insurance given that it's flood-related and nationally, only about 4% of homeowners have flood coverage. Some homeowners will choose to add flood, adding to the cost of homeownership, but especially in Florida, there was wind damage too. This damage was inflicted on a FL insurance market where 15-20% of policies are written by Citizens Insurance, controlled by the state. Josh Shanker believes that Citizens has underpriced policies and as FL looks to shift these policies to the private market, insurance premiums should rise, adding to what are already the highest insurance premiums in the country. Josh also discusses strides made by the state of FL in reducing fraud in the state's insurance market, the impact that could have on pricing and the latest outlook for auto insurance where he's been bullish on pricing for several years.

  • Japan conference reinforces view there’s another leg higher for markets
    2024/10/29
    Corporate transformation, AI could drive Japan equities

    Last month, BofA Global Research hosted its annual Japan conference. Over 500 investors joined, and attendance was up 2% versus the prior year. Japan equities rallied sharply through July, but then a rate hike from the BoJ and a stronger Yen disrupted the upward momentum. Daisuke Takato suggests there was more evidence of positive change at the conference. He reiterates Japan Equity Strategist Masashi Akutsu view that 2025 will be another leg higher in Japan's equity story as inflation helps drive higher wages, efficiencies and corporate transformation. Semiconductors could help Japan equity returns as Mikio Hirakawa believes Japan's semicap test equipment have and will benefit from AI-related demand for GPUs and memory.
