Corporate bond market activity remained buoyant in the month of June raising ~USD 1.3Tn (+4% MoM) despite the Corona scare with China-based firms dominating the issuances market followed by the US.
The global M&A activity bounced back strongly during the month of June 2020 with over 3,800+ deals (+23% MoM) totaling ~USD 380bn in value. Despite a challenging macro backdrop over Covid-19 globally, we see opportunistic investor behavior in sectors such as Healthcare and Online food delivery.
