    KfW became the second issuer to take advantage of the liquidity on offer in the belly of the euro curve this week, raising €5bn a day after the European Stability Mechanism pulled in nearly €21bn of orders to its debut benchmark. More borrowers are set to follow as issuers look to take advantage of buoyant conditions despite the looming deadline over the US debt ceiling negotiations.

    Province of Ontario is the latest issuer expected to bring a five year dollar deal next week, adding to a hefty SSA pipeline. There are also thought to be opportunities for long dated euro deals, with the Federal Reserve’s unexpected decision not to slow its asset purchasing programme causing a steepening in the euro curve.
  • SSA
    Sovereign, supranational and agency issuers have eschewed the new issue market so far this week because of the volatility inducing potential of the Federal Reserve Open Markets Committee meeting which kicks off on Wednesday. But several are in the pipeline to take advantage of the calmer markets expected next week.
  • SSA
    KfW and the African Development Bank both sold long 10 year Kangaroo debt on Wednesday, with the former opening a new line and the latter tapping its outstanding bond.

Export Development Canada also took the opportunity to increase its five year Aussie dollar bond.
  • SSA
    KFW began bookbuilding for a new long 10 year Kangaroo bond on Tuesday, looking to secure demand from Japanese investors focusing on the far end of the curve. Export Development Canada is also selling new Kangaroo debt, opting for a five year maturity.
