“There are newer trade flows emerging between China and other parts of the world; for example, we are seeing a lot more activity between China and Central Asia. These are newer markets where China is able to divert its products, and although it is likely that we will see tit-for-tat tariff wars between the US, China and potentially other parties, ultimately these prices just get passed on to consumers, so potentially we might see a resurgence of inflation at some point but that’s not necessarily a lose-lose for emerging markets.” Omotunde Lawal joined Anna Edwards, Kriti Gupta and Tom Mackenzie on Bloomberg The Opening Trade to discuss nearshoring and potential tariff wars, tightening spreads in the EM corporate market and how major risks facing EM markets have either passed or subsided.

Throughout Pride month, our teammates hosted a series of events across our offices in North America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific to reflect, empower, and unite our communities. Our Out & Allies employee resource group kicked off the month with a panel discussion moderated by PFLAG Charlotte Educational Programs Manager, Mollie Burkholder covering allyship and uniting identities. In London our teammates joined the vibrant Pride parade which saw record participation numbers this year. They also enjoyed a viewing of JULIE: The Musical, celebrating the life of LGBTQ+ icon Julie d'Aubigny. Social events in our global offices provided opportunities to connect with LGBTQ+ teammates and allies fostering meaningful conversations. Thank you to all who participated and supported our Pride month events. We’re excited to join the Charlotte Pride parade for the first time next month. Let’s continue to champion diversity and inclusion every day of the year, together.

“Our thesis in investment grade credit is that we continue to see value. Spreads are historically tight, but I would say that the all-in yields are close to the most compelling that I’ve seen in my career and so the yield buyer should take advantage of that.” Yulia Alekseeva, CFA, Barings IG Portfolio Manager & Head of Securitized Credit Research, joins Sonali Basak on Bloomberg Real Yield.
