JUNK BONDS CAME UNDER MORE PRESSURE,
outpaced by investment-grade debt in net prices, for a second day.
Profit-taking,
political infighting
(in both Europe and the U.S.), and the occurrence of massive
pullbacks in shares of Hammerson PLC and Saga PLC, all factored into the mostly risk-averse European session.
More bumps along the road in Brexit
(British exit from EU) were also in the mix, as London traders faced the backdrop of an earlier sell-off in Asian markets, while the
oil-and-energy sector was roiled
by a pullback in global crude-oil prices.

CAUTION AND PROFIT-TAKING kept Europe's
investment-grade bonds with a slight edge
over junk debt in today's trading. A
mix of European economic data
kept price swings channeled in fairly thin bands, as
inflation took a downturn,
GDP came in above forecast, and jobs data showed the
lowest unemployment since '09. The
oil-and-energy group fared well, giving important sector cues to corporate-bond traders, as
Nymex
oil prices hovered around $54 and
BP PLC shares initially rose 3.6%. However
BNP Paribas weighed on the financial group, off 2.9% on disappointing quarterly revenue, while
Weir Group PLC tanked 7.3%.

CAUTION BECAME MORE ACUTE, leading European investment-grade bonds to easily outpace junk debt in net price gains linked to actual trades. Bids for high-yield debt were damped in parallel with a
downside shift to the red in the pan-European Stoxx 600, as investors 'hunkered down' ahead of a key U.K. election vote
Thursday. In a 'tough-to-call' test of Prime Minister Theresa May's conservative majority, implications will emerge for her forward strength in
Brexit negotiations. Meanwhile a Middle-East
spat between Qatar and its neighbors weighed on high-yield debt prices, as
Nymex oil fluctuated in the $47 range.
