And Finally…
- The markets continued their recovery this week. Traders continue to dismiss any serious derailments to the world economy following the coronavirus outbreak. As China reopens for business following the extended break for new year, traders will expect to see a slowdown in manufacturing data but the size of the drop remains to be seen.
- Spreads narrowed marginally during the week as RRGB continues to move forward. Coupled with the decline in FIT, now means this spread is the largest in the index currently standing at 14.49%.
