Between the Lines: The return of football season is upon us, bringing nonstop action on both sides of the ball. While offense grabs the headlines, everyone knows that defense wins championships. On that note, the Fed continues to battle sticky inflation in the hopes of staving off a recession, while corporate issuers are largely standing on the line of scrimmage waiting for the ref to blow the whistle.
- Large issuers are playing offense – jumbo loan issuance is rising, as debt buyers are sitting on record amounts of liquidity
- While the rest of the market is playing defense – overall loan volumes are well below 2021 and 2022 levels as borrowers continue to face immense challenges in completing transactions in the lingering high interest rate environment
- And special teams are keeping busy – advisors and investors who help companies navigate hard knocks are the busiest players on the field
