And Finally…
- Markets continue to experience unprecedented levels of volatility. Global governments are enacting lock down policies in response to the Covid-19 outbreak whilst the U.S. has even considered isolating the entire state of New York. How these actions will affect the markets or the reopening of businesses before Easter is impossible to judge.
- Spreads have narrowed dramatically during the week. The long promised stimulus package has provided some temporary relief although some profit taking was seen in the days following the announcement. Jobless claims were as expected, that is high. RRGB was again amongst the biggest movers being the primary source of positive return for the T20 Index.
