Good morning. Debt issuance in euros is smashing records, New Zealand leader Ardern surprises the world, and cryptoland could see another bankruptcy before the weekend. Here’s what people are talking about.
Investors around the world appear to have an  insatiable appetite for new debt this year. Issuance has already topped half a trillion dollars, with everything from European banks to Asian corporates and developing-nation sovereigns tapping the market for fresh funds. The boom is thanks in part to a rally that’s seen global bonds surge 4.1%, the best performance to start a year in data stretching back to 1999. Currencies matter: debt issuance in euros is up about 39% compared to a year earlier, with dollar bond sales are running roughly in line with last year’s robust pace.
