I am a bit short of time this week so I am posting today’s links without summaries or comments. Still, these are notable news stories.
I will say this, the story on corporate bond issuance slowing to a crawl and this one not in the links on EM bond and equity fund outflows speaks to the depth of the crisis due to tapering fears. The EM story is going to dominate headlines for some time to come.
