Debt Capital Markets (DCM) Support
Post recovery from ill-effects of pandemic, Debt capital markets boasted of strong start in 2023 and saw all sectors contributing to the rally. However, the show halted soon amidst disruptions from fallout of Signature Bank and SVB in the US followed by sudden collapse of Swiss major Credit Suisse. The market continues to face challenges with slowing global economy, higher interest rates, reduced money supply, all-time high treasury yields, more assertive regulations, climate change and geopolitical tensions in last quarter of 2023. That said, with inverted yield curve and stiff inflation, the interest rates are expected to stay until well into 2024 while the participants would remain glued to the market and investor would wait for conducive conditions before putting their money to work.
