And Finally…
- Economic and domestic news announcements took a back seat last week. Headlines were dominated by the coronavirus outbreak in China. As the markets flirted with new all-time highs some traders took the oppotunity to bank some profits. Fears of more negative news coming out of China also caused the oil price to dip during the week.
- Spreads widened during the week for the first time this year. RRGB continues to dominate proceeding having another volatile week. This is perhaps a good reminder that complacency has a habit of sneaking up on us even though we may have been expecting it. The hostile takeover of RRGB continues to be the largest simple spread at 14.45%.
