Review of Debt New Issues and Trading

Transcription

1 Review of Debt New Issues and Trading Second 003 INVESTMENT DEALERS ASSOCIATION OF CANADA Activity Grows in Q 003 September 003 Monetary conditions were volatile in the second quarter. The Bank of Canada began the quarter with a 5 bps increase in its target for the overnight rate on April 15 th, amidst widespread expectations of further tightening to come. These expectations shifted as the quarter unfolded, however, on news of unexpected weakness in the US economy, concerns about the economic impact of SARS, and strength in the Canadian dollar. The Bank left its target rate unchanged in June and began to condition the market easing to follow in the third quarter. These volatile conditions, together with the removal of global uncertainties which had dampened activity in the first quarter, provided strong underpinnings to fixed income trading in the quarter. Bond issuance in the government sector continued the flat line pattern it had exhibited over the last year, based on lower financial requirements, while corporate bond issuance jumped sharply on improved financing conditions and credit spreads. Money market activity continued to slide, particularly in the corporate market as some issuance shifted to MTNs and as keyborrowing sectors such as oil and gas were increasingly flush with cash.
