“There were a lot more focused on China,” said Winnie Cisar, a global chief of the Creditsights strategy, on the Credit Edge Podcast this week. “He seems to have sneezed awfully now, and the rest of the world says: So how to mask himself and try to defend himself against it?”
High yield credit markets led the world in the performance of the month after the victory of the presidential election of Donald Trump, which encouraged great hopes of economic impetus and deregulation. Trade war fears have been a broken market complacency since then, turning that debt into a backlog. In the meantime, the Chinese loan is denied, after the slope of the shares that they have encouraged by the fiscal and monetary stimulus is increased.
“Investors may start to look back at China,” said Lawal cover, head of a corporate debt in the barge investment service. This is still “a little cheap”, although the spreads are slightly gathered with respect to “renewed government focus on technology, the goal of growth of 5% and the benefits of which AI progress can bring to Chinese industrial and consumer companies.”

Chinese corporations exploit the interest window, collecting $ 15 billion so far in the dollar bond market, which is mostly for the period 2022. Even real estate companies show signs of life. Beijing Capital Group is considering raising as much as $ 500 million in debt, just weeks after using investors in the debt of hungry dollars for $ 450 million.
Cisar notices the growing interest of investors for Chinese technological companies. Search engine Baidu Inc. This month, she sold 10 billion bonds with denominated Juans outside the land-first debt of debt of 2021. The bond with two billion dollars was quickly followed and was subscribed several times.
To be sure, the property is still seen as a risk. And the largest Asian economy remains highly exposed to any escalation in trade wars and eventually hit by any American economic decline.
“It is significant that the only US tariffs that have not been delayed or mitigated are those in China being imposed on February 4 and March 4,” said Paul Mackel, a global explore boss of FX at HSBC Holdings PlC. “It is likely that more tariffs or other actions could be published after the US administration completes its different reviews on Chinese trade. Therefore, the depreciation pressure is caused by a renminba tariff, therefore, still very high.”
Xuchen Zhang, Credit analyst in the emergence markets in Jupiter Asset Management, is cautious in accordance with the market saucešće due to Chinese debt with respect to some publishers “trade on a single -digit yield without a clear and sustainable path to resolve the maturity.”
In addition, US corporate debt markets are so greater than the others that big money managers are naturally forced to buy. But funds flow of performance monitoring and growing uncertainty of American politics encourages investors to park more of their money elsewhere.
And “a seemingly good return in 2024 and this year to date from Chinese credit ability is a function of turning policy, bias of survivors and bias of the horizon,” Zhang said. “We have a far better quality and smaller investment universe that supports the total recovery of prices both from the basic and technical perspective.”
