Investment Grade Corporate Bond Market Summary:
Week Ending 6/25/21

DOW 7.75% 10/1/2096 increased 6.9% from $163.47 to $174.73 last week as the company enhances transparency on ESG priorities coupled with general optimism surrounding industrial companies as Biden’s Infrastructure Deal grows closer.

MRWLN 4.75% 7/4/2029 decreased 9.4% from $122.04 to $110.62 last week as the U.K. continues to push back plans to lift remaining COVID-19 restrictions and prices rise on consumer staples.

Containers, Packaging, and Glass was the top performing industry last week with yields dropping 92 bps chiefly driven by a significant rise in demand for packaging across all industries.
