Fixed Income Credit Commentary (July 18, 2025)

Market Update: Asian G3 bond benchmarks saw collective tightening, with emerging credits leading the move. Key highlights include SOEs (China CCGG, Shikong Corp) and high-yield names (Baba, Tesla, Tencent) showing buyer interest. Corporate exchanges (SMCGL 7/5.7 Perp) were highly subscribed, reducing outstanding par. Price discovery continues amid cross-border flows.

Analyst Views:

• SMCGL: Priced new NC5 perpetual at par, exchange offers fully subscribed. Morning PRC saw slight buying on initial terms (~8.95% vs RO at par). Maintained 'Buy' on existing SMCGL perps due to favorable yield, repayment terms, and step-up structures.
• Road King (ROADKG): Announced consent solicitation for 2028-30 bonds, proposing amendments and consent fees; market view is mixed.

Regional Markets: Chinese credit markets (Covered bonds) saw compressed yields; Hong Kong real estate (Nanyan Corp, Ninin Properties) tightened in buying demand. Southeast Asia saw volatility in VLLPM. Offshore activities included a new SMCGL perpetual, a Philippine redemption (MCP), and pipeline financing.

Key Moves & News Brief: CNH interbank tightening; high-yield focus on improving credits/names. Notable redemptions noted (Sun Hung Kai). Watched ratings (Moody's) reported negative outlooks on several Adani entities and potential investments by IFC.

Recommendations: Preferred names within SMCGL perps offering higher returns vs maturity/option risk. General emphasis on high coupon and potentially available call/redemption dates.
