The Mumble: We're dreaming of an early Christmas?

There may have been the odd stinker of a deal this year but it is hard to fault SSA borrowers as a group. They went after the money this year with aggression, front-loading programmes and bringing some spectacular deals. Some market watchers were looking forward to the autumn issuance season being something of a repeat of the first three months of the year, but it does not look like that will happen. And that is a good thing.
