CFR CREDIT CLOSE: SEB Kicks Off Dog Days Week Two

SEB was the lone issuer today for what is expected to be a much-needed slow week.

Despite only bringing $1.05bn of supply, today ties for 3rd in terms of historical Dog Days Week 2 Mondays. Last year’s Dog Days Week 2 Monday also saw 1 deal, Associated Banc-Corp for $300m.

SEB's $1.05bn puts us $2.52bn away from the week’s average estimate. With the low estimate being just $1bn, it is likely there are a couple more that could go over the next few days.

After a record Dog Days Week 1 with $26.6bn, we are still hopeful of beating The Dog Days two-week combined record. That would require another $3.576bn, to take us past the record of $31.225bn from 2007. We heard of a few shops already that have 1-2 looking tomorrow which will push us closer to this goal. The record for week 2 alone is $12.3bn in 2016, which looks very unachievable.
