Our analysts Andrew Sheets and Aron Becker explain why European credit markets' performance for the rest of 2025 could be tied to U.S. growth. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Head of Corporate Credit Research at Morgan Stanley.Aron Becker: And I'm Aron Becker, Head of European Credit Strategy.Andrew Sheets: And today on the program, we're continuing a series of conversations covering the outlook for credit around the world. Morgan Stanley has recently updated its forecast for the next 12 months, and here we're going to bring you the latest views on what matters for European credit.It's Thursday, June 12th at 2pm in London.So, Aron, it's great to have this conversation with you. Today we're going to be talking about the European credit outlook. We talked with our colleague Vishwas in the other week about the U.S. credit outlook. But let's really dive into Europe and how that looks from the perspective of a credit investor.And maybe the place to start is, from your perspective, how do you see the economic backdrop in Europe, and what do you think that means for credit?Aron Becker: Right. So, on the European side, our growth expectations remain somewhat more challenging. Our economists are expecting growth after a fairly strong start to slow down in the back half of this year. The German fiscal package that was announced earlier this year will take time to lift growth further out in 2026. So, in the near term, we see a softening backdrop for the domestic economy.But I think what's important to emphasize here is that U.S. growth, as Vishwas and you have talked about last time around, is also set to decelerate on our economists forecast more meaningfully. And that matters for Europe.Two reasons why I think the U.S. growth outlook matters for European credit. One, nearly a quarter of European companies' revenues are generated in the U.S. And two, U.S. companies themselves have been very actively tapping the European corporate bond markets. And in fact, if you look at the outstanding notion of bonds in the euro benchmarks, the largest country by far is U.S. issuers. And so, I do think that we need to think about the outlook on the macro side, more in a global perspective, when we think about the outlook for European credit. And if we look at history, what we can deduct from the simple correlation between growth and credit spreads is current credit valuations imply growth would be around 3 percent. And that's a stark contrast to our economists' forecast where both Europe and U.S. is decelerating to below 1 percent over the next 12 months.Andrew Sheets: But Aron, you know, you talked about the slow growth, here in Europe. You talked about a slower growth picture in the U.S. You talked about, you know, pretty extensive exposure of European companies into the U.S. story. All of which sound like pretty challenging things. And yet, if one looks at your forecasts for credit spreads, we think they remain relatively tight, especially in investment grade.So, how does one square that? What's driving what might look like, kind of, a more optimistic forecast picture despite those macro challenges?Aron Becker: Right. That's a very important question. I think that it's not all about the growth, and there are a number of factors that I think can alleviate the pressures from the macro side. The first is that unlike in the U.S., in Europe we are expecting inflation to decelerate more meaningfully over the coming year. And we do think that the ECB and the Bank of England will continue to ease policy. That's good for the economy and the eventual rebound. And we also think that it's good for demand for credit products. For yield buyers where the cash alternative is getting less and less compelling, I think they will see yields on corporate credit much more attractive. And I do think that credit yields right now in Europe are actually quite attractive.Andrew Sheets: So, Aron, you know, another question I had is, if you think about some of those dynamics. The fact that interest rates are above where they've been over the last 10 years. You think about a growth environment in Europe, which is; it's not a recession, but growth is, kind of, 1 percent or a little bit below.I mean, some ways this is very similar to the dynamic we had last year. So, what do you think is similar and what do you think is different, in terms of how investors should think about, say, the next 12 months – versus where we've been?Aron Becker: Right. So, what's really similar is, for example, the yield, like I just mentioned. I think the yield is attractive. That hasn't really changed over the past 12 months. If you just think about credit as a carry product, you're still getting around between 3-3.5 percent on an IG corporate bond today.What's really different is that over the same period, the ECB has already lowered front-end rates by 200 basis points. And at the same time, if you think about the fiscal developments in Germany or broader rates dynamics, we've seen a sharp steepening of yield curves; and curves are actually at the steepest levels in two years now. And what this leaves us with is not only high carry from the yield on corporate bonds, but also investors are now rolling down on a much steeper curve if they buy bonds today, especially further out the curve.So, by our estimate, if you aggregate the two figures in terms of your expected total return, credit offers actually total returns much higher than over the past 12 months, and closer to where we were in the LDI crisis in 2022.Andrew Sheets: So, Aron, another development I wanted to ask you about is, if you look at our forecast for the year ahead, our global forecast. One theme is that on the government side there's projected to be a lot more borrowing. There's more borrowing in Germany, and then there's more borrowing in the U.S., especially under certain versions of the current budget proposals being debated. So, you know, it does seem like you have this contrast between more borrowing and kind of a worsening fiscal picture in governments, a better fiscal picture among corporates. We talk about the spread. The spread is the difference between that corporate and government borrowing.So, I guess looking forward first, do you think European companies are going to be borrowing more money? And certainly more money on a relative, incremental basis at these yield levels, which are higher than what they're used to in the past. And, secondly, how do you think about the relative valuation of European credit versus some of the sovereign issuers in Europe, which is often a debate that we'll have with investors?Aron Becker: Big picture? We have seen companies be very active in tapping the corporate bond markets this year. We had a record issuance in May in terms of supply. Now I would push back on the view that that's negative for investors, and expectations for spreads to widen as a result for a number of reasons. One is a lot of gross issuance tends to be good for investors who want to pick up some new issue premiums – as these new bonds do come a little bit cheap to what's out there in terms of available secondary bonds.And second, it creates a lot of liquidity for investors to actually deploy capital, when they do want to enter the bond market to invest. And what we really need to remember here is all this strong issuance activity is coming against very high maturing, volumes of bonds. Redemptions this year are rising by close to 20 percent versus last year. And so, even though we are projecting this year to be a record year for growth issuance from investment grade companies, we think net supply will be lower year-on-year as a result of those elevated, maturities.So overall, I think that's going to be a fairly positive technical backdrop. And as you alluded to it, that's a stark contrast to what the sovereign market is facing at the moment.Andrew Sheets: So, on that net basis, on the amount that they're issuing relative to what they're paying back, that actually is probably looking lower than last year, on your numbers.Aron Becker: Exactly.Andrew Sheets: And finally, Aron, you know, so we've talked a bit about the market dynamics, we've talked about the economic backdrop, we've talked about the issuance backdrop. Where does this leave your thoughts for investors? What do you think looks, kind of, most attractive for those who are looking at the European credit space?Aron Becker: Opportunities are abound, but I think you need to be quite selective of where to actually increase your risk exposure, in my view. One part which we are quite out of consensus on here at Morgan Stanley is our recommendation in European credit to extend duration further out the curve.This goes back to the point I made earlier, that curves are very steep and a lot of that carry and roll down that I think look particularly attractive; you do need to extend duration for that. But there are a number of reasons why I think that that type of trade can work in this backdrop.For one, like I said, valuations are attractive. Two, I also think that from an issuer perspective, it is expensive to tap very long dated bonds now because of that yield dynamic, and I don't necessarily see a lot of supply coming through further out the curve. Three, our rates team do expect curves to bull steepen on the rate side and historically that has tended to favor excess returns further out the curve.And fourth is, a word we love to throw around – convexity. Cash prices further out the curve are very low in investment grade credit. That tends to be actually quite attractive because then even if you get the name wrong, for example, and there are some credit challenges down the line for some of these issuers, your loss given default may be more muted if you entered the bond at a lower cash price.Andrew Sheets: Aron, thanks for taking the time to talk.Aron Becker: Thanks, Andrew.

Mullen's mentorship.He shares his pivotal moment at 11, choosing America's Got Talent over a Belize trip, becoming a finalist and facing the lure of secular success.Despite giving glory to God on the show, he admits to running from his calling, wanting freedom to chase his own desires while still loving Jesus.[05:41] God Redeems Quintavius's Childhood ExperiencesQuintavius reveals how international fame from America's Got Talent was misused for self-interest, a pattern God is now redeeming for His glory.[5:41] Quintavious: “After I fully submitted to Him, got saved, filled the Holy Ghost again, He now has allowed me to redeem that he is redeemed again. Now I was on the national, international stage, and I am making his name great, and it's for the purpose of God.”He opens up about misunderstood spiritual gifts—like seeing visions—initially confusing them for demonic or medium-like experiences due to lack of guidance.A turning point came when he surrendered fully to Christ, allowing God to refine these gifts for prophetic ministry and deliverance of others.Reagan connects this to listeners, noting how God's protection kept Quintavius from darker paths, now using his platform to win souls.[20:50] Demonic Torment During Early YearsQuintavius claims to have had chilling encounters with demons in elementary and middle school, like beds shaking and hearing hoof-like footsteps, fueling a spirit of fear.The enemy exploited his ignorance, tormenting him with nightmares and voices urging harm, aiming to silence his future calling.Quintavius credits the Holy Spirit for guiding him to fast and pray—sometimes for weeks—leading to physical deliverance, like vomiting out demonic influences.He mentions influential figures like Alexander Pagani and his pastor Shelley Morrison, whose teachings and hugs broke spiritual chains.Dreams once filled with torment became tools of deliverance as he rejected demonic offers in sleep, waking up free by God's power.[32:54] Bringing His Spiritual Gifts to the World StageQuintavius reluctantly joined American Idol after receiving persistent invitations. He sang “Alabaster Box” for judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan.He felt the song was a powerful movement—Katy cried, Lionel claimed he felt God's presence, and Luke likened it to a baptism—shifting the show's atmosphere.Behind the scenes, revival broke out: crew members and contestants got saved, atheists turned to Christ, and the theme changed from gladiators to classmates.[37:38] Quintavious: “They literally started calling it revival. It was such a revival of the love of God and of the power of the Holy Ghost that people want to get more.”Quintavious' performances are on his Instagram, demonstrating how his worship visibly carried the Holy Spirit to impact thousands.[42:28] God's Permission, or God's Plan?Quintavius reflects on a misstep during American Idol; he chose a song God permitted but didn't ordain, learning that lawful actions aren't always in line with God's wishes.Despite the permission, not following God's exact plan halted his progression. He learned to prioritize precise obedience over rationalized choices.[49:19] Reagan: “God's opening doors, well, why? Because you've been faithful, you've screwed up. He's the God of second chances.”He shares how God still redeemed this, as a viral “12 Days of Christmas” video in December 2024 brought greater reach than the show, saving lives and opening doors.[52:53] Staying Faithful to God's Call TodayQuintavius stresses prayer, fasting, and staying rooted in Scripture to balance his dual presence in gospel and secular spheres, keeping his focus on God's assignment.He credits his local church community for grounding him, offering safety in counsel and keeping pride at bay as his influence grows.[53:31] Quintavious: “I stay faithful to my church community. Having a community around you is important, you know, the multitude of counsel, there is safety.”His mission bridges worlds, bringing salvation to both gospel artists who don't live it and secular folks unaware of Jesus, acting as a “secret agent” for the Kingdom.Quintavius envisions God deepening his intimacy with the Spirit and expanding his ministry globally, not just in industry fame but in soul-winning across nations.He sees himself growing as a leader in the body of Christ, shaped by ongoing lessons in manhood and stewardship of his gifts.His local church remains vital, providing covering and training—like casting out demons in outreach—keeping him humble and accountable.[1:00:49] Encouraging the LonelyQuintavius encourages trusting God over self, rejecting the lie of isolation. God has a community for everyone.He advises praying for revelation of that community, warning against the enemy's tactic to isolate and confuse through lack of guidance.The body of Christ is collective, not solitary, and finding a church or group stirs gifts and offers support.Reagan prays for Quintavius, asking for strategic discernment, protection, and boldness to spread the gospel worldwide through his voice.Quintavius requests prayer to steward his transition well, avoiding procrastination and aligning with God's will as his influence rises.About QuintaviousQuintavius Johnson is a worship and gospel singer, prophetic minister, and dynamic voice for God's Kingdom, celebrated for his powerful testimony and anointed performances. Rising to fame as a finalist on America's Got Talent at age 12, he later captivated audiences on American Idol in 2024, where his singing sparked revival and led souls to Christ. With a background rooted in church choirs and a family of singers, Quintavius discovered his spiritual gifts early, navigating demonic torment and prophetic visions that God has since redeemed for deliverance and global ministry.Now 23, Quintavius bridges the secular and gospel worlds, using platforms like his viral “12 Days of Christmas” video to spread hope and salvation. A faithful servant in his local church, he ministers through worship, intercession, and outreach, drawing from years of intimacy with the Holy Spirit to cast out demons and ignite faith. Passionate about obedience and humility, Quintavius's journey equips believers to surrender fully, embrace their callings, and experience the transformative power of God's love.Connect with Quintavious through his social media platforms Facebook, X, Youtube, Tiktok and Instagram. Enjoyed this Episode?If you did, subscribe and share it with your friends!Post a review and share it!

We all love talking about luxurious, over-the-top award redemptions—think first-class flights, overwater villas, and five-star resorts. But let's be real—some of the best uses of points and miles are not Instagram-worthy. In this episode, we break down the difference between sexy and unsexy redemptions, why both are important, and how they each play a role in maximizing your points strategy. What Makes a Redemption “Sexy”? Pam kicks things off with her signature philosophy: “A sexy redemption is a Pam redemption.” For her, that means business-class flights on international routes and stays at luxury hotels. But she also reminds us that sexy is subjective—a Southwest flight to Hawaii can absolutely be a dream-worthy redemption for a family! Jess adds that she aspires to make every redemption as “Pam-level” as possible, but admits that her first year of points and miles was entirely unsexy. Unsexy Redemptions: The Unsung Heroes of Travel Not every redemption is flashy, but that doesn't mean it's not valuable. Alex shares how some of her best redemptions have been for things like: Flying last-minute for a wedding, funeral, or family emergency Booking budget-friendly Hyatt Place stays for soccer tournaments Using airport hotels for positioning flights to avoid travel disruptions Staying in hotels during home renovations or natural disasters While they may not be glamorous, these redemptions save real money and make everyday travel easier. As Pam puts it, “If you can cover an ‘unsexy' expense with points and it costs you nothing, that's actually pretty sexy.” Our Favorite Sexy and Unsexy Redemptions Each of us shares a mix of redemptions that stand out: Jess: Emirates first class with an onboard shower and champagne (sexy!) vs. Hyatt stays during a Houston freeze and power outage (unsexy but a lifesaver). Alex: A Maldives overwater villa + Qatar Qsuite flights (sexy!) vs. a last-minute flight to care for her sister after surgery (not glamorous, but necessary). Pam: Business class Singapore Airlines flights to Thailand + Ritz-Carlton stays (sexy!) vs. booking a flight to London during COVID for a hospitalized grandchild (priceless). Why Every Redemption Has Value At the end of the day, points and miles are a tool for travel freedom—whether that means luxury vacations, practical family trips, or unexpected emergencies. As Jess reminds us, “No redemption is a bad redemption if it saves you money and makes your life easier.” Whether you're dreaming of first-class flights or just want to avoid paying cash for a last-minute family trip, this episode will help you make the most of your points—sexy or not!  Links: Links For All Things Travel Mom Squad: stan.store/travelmomsquad Jess's Emirates first class reel: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CtPGqi2gKvI/?igsh=dzZrOXp2NnA1djhw Episode Minute By Minute: 00:30 – What is a “sexy” vs. “unsexy” award redemption? 01:40 – Pam's philosophy: Why luxury redemptions are her go-to 07:00 – Alex's take: Why family travel means balancing both 15:30 – Unsexy redemptions: Why they're just as valuable 22:45 – Our best (and worst) redemption stories 30:00 – Why no redemption is a bad redemption

Job openings post a sharp decline The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, also known as the JOLTs report, showed job openings of 7.6 million in the month of December. This was below the estimate of 8 million and the reading of 8.09 million in the month of November. While this may sound disappointing, this still leaves the ratio of open jobs to available workers at 1.1 to 1. A softening labor market is still not a bad thing considering it is coming from such a strong spot where workers have had an immense amount of power over employers for a couple of years. The Fed wants to make sure the labor market isn't too strong as it could cause inflationary concerns, so I actually see this as a positive considering it is still a good report, but not too strong. I still believe the labor market could soften further without it being problematic for the economy.   Jobs growth still looks positive Although the nonfarm payrolls growth of 143,000 in the month of January missed the expectation of 169,000, I still see the number as healthy for a growing economy. This number also came after upward revisions of 100,000 for December and November. The January number was slightly off the average of 166,000 in 2024, but I would expect to see a lower total in 2025 given the fact that the unemployment rate is extremely healthy at 4%. I was surprised to see wage growth accelerate to 4.1% in the month, which was higher than last month's reading of 3.9% and was at the highest level since May 2024 when it also registered 4.1%. At this level I wouldn't say wage inflation is problematic, but I would say it is worth watching. If it reaccelerated to a higher level that could pose problems for the battle over inflation. I would say overall the job report looked healthy with no major surprises and for the most part it would point to a labor market that is continuing to soften, which I believe is good for our economy as a whole.   Redemptions are high for climate mutual funds Climate mutual funds, sometimes called green funds, grew quite rapidly from 2019 through the beginning of 2024. Apparently, investors began realizing that the equity concentration in these mutual funds really hurt their returns in 2024. Redemptions of $30 billion means investors wanted to leave these climate sensitive mutual funds to invest elsewhere. It is estimated worldwide that climate focused mutual funds are approximately $534 billion. Redemptions of $30 billion is a pretty big hit considering that equates to around 5 to 6% of fund assets. Based on how times are changing, I believe going forward investors should not expect their returns to keep pace with the overall market. Another problem for investors is when redemptions in these funds are high, the fund manager must sell off assets to raise cash, perhaps at lower prices which can really hurt the performance of the fund going forward. This is because the stocks have been sold out of the portfolio to raise cash and if the stocks rebound, the fund performance will lag because of the missing equities that had to be sold. On the other side, if they sell positions with a gain, this will create tax consequences for investors.    Behind the curtain of private equity Private equity over the last few years has become the cool thing in investing. Investors have been trying to get into private equity as an alternative asset, which I personally do not believe in because of the behind the curtain details no one knows what's going on. Over the last 10 years, private equity assets have increase 300% to around $4 trillion. What's even more amazing is that the fees collected by these private equity firms has increased 600%! A trade group by the name Institutional Limited Partners Association has had enough. They are pushing for new guidelines to standardize financial reporting for private equity investors including public pension plans, university endowments, and charitable foundations. What I thought was crazy is that private equity firms will vary how much they disclose to their clients based on how much they invest. The small investors will get less information than the bigger investors. In my opinion, it is not a wise place to put your money as I like to know what is going on with my investments. There are ways that the private equity firms are enhancing returns by using certain types of financial engineering as opposed to the old way of selling the companies they buy and returning cash to the investors. The most revealing thing I could find was the median fee that the small investors pay is somewhere around 2%. I have said many times in the past if your broker is trying to sell you or put you into the hot private equity market, I recommend saying no thank you and find another broker.   Are 401(k) Loans a Good Idea? Taking a 401(k) loan may seem like an attractive option for quick access to cash, but it often comes with significant financial drawbacks that make it a bad idea. When you borrow from your 401(k), you are essentially taking money out of your retirement savings, which means losing potential investment growth and compounding returns that are crucial for long-term wealth accumulation. Although you repay yourself with interest, the interest rate is usually lower than what your investments could have earned if left untouched. Additionally, 401(k) loans must be repaid within a set timeframe, and if you leave your job, either voluntarily or involuntarily, the outstanding balance becomes due. Failure to repay results in it being treated as a distribution, triggering income taxes and, if you are under 59½, an additional 10% early withdrawal penalty, plus a 2.5% penalty in California. This can lead to a significant tax burden and further reduce your retirement savings. Moreover, and this is the biggest drawback in my opinion, when you repay the loan with interest, even though you are paying that interest to yourself, you are paying that interest with after-tax dollars which means you are being taxed twice.   First you have to earn that money and pay taxes on it in order to pay the interest, and you are taxed again when you withdraw that money in retirement. Many people also fall into the trap of taking multiple loans, which can create a cycle of dependency and derail long-term financial security. While a 401(k) loan might seem like a convenient way to borrow, the risks of lost investment growth, tax consequences, and potential repayment difficulties make it an unwise financial move in most situations.   Companies Discussed: Fox Corporation (FOXA), PVH Corp. (PVH), Dollar General Corporation (DG), United Parcel Service, Inc. (UPS)

This week's "Wiser Loyalty" podcast episode has senior faculty members of the Loyalty Academy™, Bill Hanifin and Aaron Dauphinee back together again. This is week two of May that explores constructs taken from the Loyalty Academy™ curriculum for the Loyalty Rewards Strategies & Redemption Experience course (course #108). In this episode, Bill and Aaron build upon last week's episode that looked at the importance of attainable rewards but with a tint towards aspirational and experiential redemptions. This week they swing the pendulum to the other end of the redemption spectrum to look at loyalty programs that utilize micro-redemptions and why.In the Wiser Loyalty series, Bill and Aaron draw a theme each month based on the courses required to earn the Certified Loyalty Marketing Professional™ (CLMP™) designation which is nearing 1,000 individuals across 53 countries worldwide.

So we've been feeling a little introspective here lately, and decided to take a look into what anime we have completely changed our tune on. This podcast has  forced us to watch shows we would have otherwise skipped, or not given a second chance on if we were disappointed...and we're seeing that's for the better!What we're noticing is that sometimes we can have some super-valid criticisms about how bad or lacking a show is for the first few seasons, but that doesn't mean the show is going to be continue it's lack of storytelling, character building, or whatever it was that turned us off in the first place.So today we pick some of the shows we have changed our minds on, why we have changed our minds, and what seems to be some trends for stories at the start, versus having some time to flesh the world out.ALSO - We found a platform that works regularly for YouTube! Come show us some love.This episode includes: Dragon Ball Super, Vinland Saga, My Hero Academia, HunterXHunter, Demon Slayer, Goblin SlayerLinks to everything HERE!

#VinceLanci: #Gold, #Silver Mining Stock Funds Seeing Redemptions As we approach the end of 2023, the gold price is about $100 higher, while silver is lower by about $2. Yet the mining shares have experienced another year of declines, with many of the mining stock indices trading even lower than when gold was at $1650 and silver was at $18 at the bottom of last year's sell-off. And in today's report, Vince Lanci talks about how he's become aware of 2 significant mining stock funds that are facing redemptions and have been liquidating some of their positions. He talks about the impact this is having on the market, why they are selling, and whether it's a matter of a different fundamental view, or a move that's being enacted due to liquidity purposes. So with gold and silver stock investors continuing to wonder whether we've hit the bottom of the sell-off yet, today's show provides some insight into the flows that are moving the sector.

This will likely go down as the weirdest and most random 20 minutes to start a show that we've ever had in our 147 studio recordings, with all topics in play. We're talking:- Aliens- LIV Golf (with breaking news mid-recording)- Pickleball paddles- Apple Vision ProYou know... all the topics that the most hardcore card collectors are discussing! But after the dust settled, it was actually quite a week in the hobby, so the boys found some time to get in to that as well. The Heat are surprisingly making a series of things with the Nuggets. Las Vegas is an elite home for the Stanley Cup Finals, as the first two games out there have been an electric factory. The $250k Druw Jones Superfractor Bounty was accepted by a grandfather in (of course) Ohio. Wemby autos out of Bowman Chrome U are redemptions... so how do they determine who gets the "first card I ever signed" inscription?

A lot to cover this week. Both Richard and Ed were able to take advantage of the latest Bilt promotion to book trips to Europe.  Let's see how they made out. IHG is making breakfast worse for elite members.  How bad is the change? Universal Orlando has a pretty sweet ticket deal right now. Capital One has a massive sign-up bonus for the Venture X, but should you consider it? And, Richard wants you to know just how long he's believed you shouldn't plan your credit card strategy around 5/24.
