Market backdropMarkets return positively from the Easter break despite sluggish US jobsdata
► The FTSE Eurofirst 300, a measure of European equities, rose by 0.6% on Tuesday morning on the backof the news that FedEx is in the process of acquiring its Dutch rival TNT Express for €4.4 billion.
► US index futures suggested that the S&P 500 will also rise despite Friday’s release of soft employmentfigures. The US non-farm payroll data suggested that the US added only 126,000 new jobs in March,the lowest since January 2014. The data can be taken as a positive for stocks, as it likely delays theincrease of interest rates by the Federal Reserve.
► The policy sensitive US 2-year bond yield hit a two month intraday low on Monday on the back of thedata to 0.47%, as 10-year yields eased just 1bp to 1.90%.
► Equivalent maturity Bunds are currently at 0.18%, only a couple of basis points above record lows, astraders and investors await information on whether Greece will be able to secure financial aid fromcreditors.
► Monetary policy has also been a focus in Australia, where the central bank surprised many by leavingborrowing costs unchanged. This is despite strong speculation that the Reserve Bank would drop ratesfrom the existing level of 2.25%.
► The generally positive tone has been reflected by Chinese equities, which have reached a seven yearhigh. This has in turn pushed base metal prices, with copper increasing 0.7% to $6,028 a tonne.However, the volatility in the oil price continues, surging 5.8% on Monday with a 1.4% drop.

► The run-in to Easter proved a quiet one, with a number of macro-economic factors adding to thetraditional pre-holiday lull in new issuance. As investors took stock of a busy March and continued tohunt for relative value, the market saw a small selection of investment grade and high-yield names, withstrong bid support seen across the board as a result. With the US market heading into an earningsblack-out period, many saw the looming Easter break as a chance to take stock and only selectivelyparticipate in the limited new offerings seen in the market.
► Telstra (A2, NR, NR) had the market to itself on Monday, with its first deal in some four years attractingsignificant cross-border investor interest. The single-tranche 10-year US$1.0 billion deal launched withinitial price thoughts in the 135-140bps area, with a strong order book allowing final pricing to bemarked at T+118bps – effectively with no new issue premium to existing secondary levels.
► Hikma Pharmaceuticals (Ba1, NR, NR), the FTSE-100 listed pharmaceuticals business based in Jordan,became the first Jordanian company to issue a corporate bond. With half of the company’s revenuescoming from the US, investors showed strong support for the debut high-yield issuer, allowing theUS$500 million print to price tight to comparable secondaries, with the 5-year note settling atT+288bps and a coupon of 4.25%.

► Whilst the European market has seen a flurry of cross-border issuers in recent weeks (notably from theUS, where favourable cross-currency pricing has been attracting a number of new names into themarket), this was the week where supply slowed down and investors largely focused on domestic names.
► Centrica (Baa1, A-, A-) paired up its 60-year hybrid Sterling note with a 61-year non-call 6-year €750million Euro subordinated issue. Initial price thoughts were placed at 3.125% for the issue, with stronginvestor interest permitting modest price tightening to a final print at 3.0% - equivalent to issue spreadof MS+269bps.
► ArcelorMittal (Ba1, NR, BB+) saw strong support for a twin-tranche fixed & floating-rate issue, placingsome €900 million of notes with relative ease as part of a broader refinancing strategy including itsexisting €6.0 billion revolving credit facilities. The deal was split across €500 million of fixed-rate 6-yearnotes, launched with price guidance of MS+280bps and final landing spot at MS+275bps, with a straight3.0% coupon. This was paired with a well-received 3-year floating rate note, up-sized from €250 millionto print at €400 million and pricing of 3mL+203bps (tightened from guidance of +210bps).
