- A plethora of news announcements last week saw a positive start to earnings season as banks reported robust results. Phase I of the U.S. – China trade deal was signed and, along with some positive domestic economic data propelled the market to fresh highs yet again.
- Spreads continued to narrow during the week primarily as RRGB continues its recovery. Traders are advised to be selective in choosing their deals as despite the large number of option available, spreads are becoming much tighter than before. The hostile RRGB takeover continues to be the largest simple spread at 14.45%.
