Commentary & Deal Flow

CreditFlow: End of Day (Europe IG)

IGC European Market: Commentary - Close
  • Supply this week was less than expected, yet still yielded over €37.5bn in fresh IG supply from 33 deals (42 tranches), when conditions were tough & the Fed, BofE & BoJ all laid out their stall for rates.
  • Looking forward, this week’s Supply Survey (results below) points to a potential €34.93bn of € IG supply next week. Note that the corporate forecasts do not include any large reverse Yankee trades that may or may not be in the wings. Only 1 is IG, but that could still move the dial significantly.
    • In addition to the one tech giant, that was potentially due to price this week (had the market been more receptive), Softbank - a HY borrower - is meeting with investors next week with a view to tapping the domestic US$ market, though it may include a € tranche - which would garner a good deal of market focus.
  • SSA could also swing the dial, with one large EGB potentially coming next week.
  • For covered bonds, the market is expecting less supply given the Covered Bond Congress conference in Seville, Spain, which takes place on Thursday.
  • In stark contrast to yesterday European Government bond yields rose throughout the day, though the long-end of the Gilt curve remained supported after the BofE’s action yesterday constricting supply out from 20yrs.
  • € IG priced €3.45bn from 4 deals (1 x Corp & 3 x FIG) via 4 tranches.
  • Sterling (£) produced £300m from 1 deal (1 x SSA) via 1 tranche.
  • There was no activity in the Swiss Franc & US$ Reg S markets.
  • In the wake of the Credit Agricole trade yesterday & Unicredit today, our “Talking Point” today (below) looks at the € IG AT1 issuance by country YTD.
  • iTraxx Europe & the iTraxx Senior & Sub financial indices moved higher throughout the session. Currently trading at 53.935 (+2.29%), 56.867 (+3.12%) & 91.52 (+3.36%) respectively (as we print).
  • Brent Crude has been range bound most of today’s session, rising again in recent hours currently trading at c.$104.69 (c.$103.67 this morning).
  • European equity bourses were once again on the back foot with the FTSE, Dax & CAC 40 all moving sharply lower by -1.27%, -1.48% & -1.59% respectively.
  • A breakdown of today’s primary € supply is as follows.
    • Corporate
      • Total IG: €500m
      • Avg. tranche size €500m

Supply Survey For Next Week

  • Thank you to all who participated in our ‘Weekly Supply Survey’. Forecasts indicate €34.93bn of primary IG supply, broken down as follows.


Talking Point

  • The table & chart below set out the € IG AT1 issuance by country YTD, which has consisted of issuance from 8 countries, totalling €13.3bn. Italy leads on both metrics, accounting for €4.5bn across 6 tranches (5 deals).
  • Spread compression from IPT to final pricing has been exceptional across the year, averaging -48.82bp, ranging from -31.25bp for Erste Group Bank on the 22nd of June to -62.5bp for Helaba on the 6th of May. The tightest executions have been concentrated in the May to September window.
  • Average books have been c.4.47 X covered across the market, illustrating very real demand for these subordinated instruments.
  • Regulatory uncertainty receded through the year, most notably when Germany backed away from its most radical AT1 reform proposals in May 2026, removing a key overhang from the asset class. Valuation risk has since taken its place as the main concern. By July, Man Group warned that AT1 buyers were "far too complacent" on risks, with some banks taking advantage of high demand to price aggressively. Regulatory change is expected to drive dispersion rather than broad outperformance going forward.
  • Demand has remained robust as we head towards Q4, with Credit Agricole's €750m print at 6.4% yesterday tightening by 60bps & UniCredit’s €750m print today at 6.25% coming in by a more modest 31.25bp, making this week the most active week in subordinated bank debt in 4 months.
