On 23 September, the Singapore Education Committee hosted the 100 Women in Finance Fixed Income Breakfas, engaging in a deep dive into the evolving dynamics of the global credit markets.
Why the session mattered
As the interest rate environment shifts, traditional paradigms are being rewritten. Our discussion explored how macro changes are reshaping investor behavior, liquidity, and market structures, providing critical insights into navigating this new era of fixed income.
Key takeaways:
- Impact of Higher Rates: Reshaping funding dynamics and relative value compared to the post-GFC era.
- Evolving Market Structures: Changes in risk warehousing and liquidity are redefining how risk is transferred.
- Regional Nuances: Growing differentiation between deepening Asian markets and EU issuance.
- The Importance of Market Structure: Understanding who holds risk is becoming as vital as forecasting rate moves.
