  • The Province of Ontario hit screens on Tuesday afternoon with initial price thoughts for a C$750m no-grow tap of the February 2025 bonds.
  • The Province of Ontario is readying for a tap its 2025 Canadian dollar denominated green bond for the second time this year.
  • Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce was quick to take advantage of a favourable swing in the sterling-dollar basis swap, to issue its debut Sonia-linked covered bond on Monday, pricing the deal flat to fair value and tighter than where it could have printed in dollars or euros. The scale of demand would have allowed for a much larger deal, suggesting good potential for follow-on supply.
  • The Province of British Columbia has weathered volatility from the fallout of last week's meeting of the US Federal Reserve to return to the dollar market for the first time in four years. Another rare SSA issuer, IDB Invest, also plans a return to the dollar market, with investor calls set up for this week ahead of its five year debut.
  • It has been an explosive week in the sterling market, with foreign and domestic names raising £2.9bn of debt on the back of £13.05bn of combined demand in the space of just three days. But there are more big tests for sterling funders in near future, with a bond market comeback for the UK’s Metro Bank being chief among them.
  • Rating: Aa2/A+/AA-
  • Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce did not have to pay any premium to investors on Wednesday to launch its first fixed rate senior deal in the sterling market, which has coped well with a mass of supply in recent days.
  • SSA issuers turned towards niche currencies this week to meet a range of demand across the Australian and Canadian dollar curves. KfW and the Asian Development Bank started the week printing in Australian dollars, before the World Bank joined them in the currency while also returning to the Maple market.
  • SSA issuers of dollar bonds were able to push harder on spread than they have in recent weeks on Wednesday, surprising syndicate bankers away from the deals.
  • The dollar SSA market burst into life on Tuesday, but some bankers say that the tight spreads and low yields on offer mean there is little guarantee any of the trades will be easy.
  • Europe's bond market reopened for the autumn issuance season this week — but it is a new bond market. The summer's queasy bout of bearishness has pushed government bond yields to unprecedented lows and these are now for the first time being tested as a platform for private sector bond issuance.
  • Rentenbank and Inter-American Development Bank hit the market for small taps of existing dollar debt on Tuesday, though some investors’ attentions are focused on this week’s US Federal Reserve meeting.
