Opportunity to add hyperscalers
There is a better opportunity to add to hyperscaler names after their earnings beat and CapEx revisions higher. Despite potential spread widening from heavy supply, the fundamental demand and AI-driven investment support these names. Investors can take advantage of any softness to build positions.

Long duration IG credit attractive
We like adding duration in the IG markets at 25 years plus. Higher treasury yields have brought durable demand from domestic and foreign investors (e.g., Taiwan life insurance), supporting a flattening of the credit curve on the long end. This provides an attractive risk-reward for long-duration investment grade credit.
