Investment Manager's Commentary
as of 31/08/2023Market Review and Outlook
Market was generally weaker in August. Treasury volatility caused by rate hike trajectory concern, US rating downgrade and weak China economic data and property market had all led to weak sentiment. Country Garden, a China property developer which was investment-grade rated at its peak, skipped its August USD bond coupon due to debt concern. Although the coupon was eventually cured in September, the unexpected event caused a wave of indiscriminating sell-off in Asia credit mid-month. Buyers were seen coming back towards the end of the month post the Jacksonhole meeting. China was among the biggest beneficiaries of the end of the month rally thanks to its easing measures that came out towards end of August, targeting specifically to boost property sales. The Asia credit market returned negatively in August with -0.9%, referencing to the J.P. Morgan Asia Credit Index, mainly drag by high-yield issuers which returned -3.5%. The backdrop of the market continues to be high volatility hence liquidity, positioning, active trading, and hedging becomes increasingly important.
