KBRA Analytics Releases 12 Things in Credit: May 2021

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA Analytics releases topical and timely commentary on credit markets, compiled from our weekly podcast, 3 Things in Credit, hosted by our Chief Strategist, Van Hesser. This recap, 12 Things in Credit, is a transcript of every episode in the month. Some of the wide-ranging issues addressed in May include the importance of consumer confidence vis-à-vis inflation risk, Big Tech’s evolving capital structures, and government intervention’s structural impact on default rates.

The pandemic has dramatically reset the global economic and markets landscape as massive government intervention and fluid developments on the scientific front meet extreme valuations in markets. Each week, we dig into and provide perspective on issues credit-market participants care about. Tune in every Friday to Van’s podcast for the latest. And look for our monthly published recap to catch up on what you might have missed.
