And Finally…

    • As the gentle downward trend in new COVID-19 infections continues, markets embarked upon an almost euphoric state of being as surprisingly good employment numbers were released. Traders were completely blindsided by the reading and sent markets on a jet propelled rally.
    • Spreads narrowed accordingly during the week. This was despite rumors that the Tiffany deal could be in trouble. The T20 index continues to operate with only 19 stocks. No new cash deals have emerged to fill the vacant spot although we remain bullish about M&A prospects following the beginnings of the economic reopening.
