ICYMI: S&P sees global bond issuance growth slowing to 2.7% in 2027, weakest in five years
USDCNY
A sharp slowdown in supply growth would ease one source of pressure on bond markets after a heavy 2026, which could help keep corporate spreads tight if demand holds up. AI borrowing stays the main swing factor for supply: with capex expected to top $1.3 trillion, hyperscaler issuance will keep testing investor appetite for technology credit.
