Institutional Investors and Corporations Suggest that Inflation-Linked Corporate Bonds may Provide Solution to Both Parties and could Become an Interesting Substitute for Sovereign Debt

June 26, 2012--In a survey of institutional investors and members of corporate finance departments, EDHEC-Risk Institute sought reactions to the key conclusions of a study entitled "Optimal Design of Corporate Market Debt Programmes in the Presence of Interest-Rate and Inflation Risks", which was produced as part of the Rothschild & Cie research chair.

The results indicate that the research topic is perceived as highly relevant to current investor concerns and issuers of corporate debt. Respondents suggest that the issuance of inflation-linked bonds may provide a solution to both parties. For investors, inflation-linked corporate debt could be an ideal instrument for hedging their liabilities at a time when sovereign debt is no longer considered the default asset for pension funds’ asset-liability management.

For corporations, issuing inflation-linked debt would ultimately limit the firm’s risk and increase the value of its shares.

'Financial diplomacy' new channel for global deals

June 26, 2012--An intense brand of "financial diplomacy" has taken root in global politics as economic crises worsen, with the United States a key player, the US Treasury's hard-nosed global envoy said Monday.

Lael Brainard, US Treasury under secretary for international affairs, said a parallel world to the traditional political diplomacy has developed with equally intense negotiations and tough market-driven deadlines.

EEX spins off gas business into own company

June 25, 2012--The European Energy Exchange (EEX) will spin off the Natural Gas Spot and Derivatives Market into a separate company owned to 100 percent with the corporate name "EGEX European Gas Exchange". Five years after the launch of exchange gas trading in Germany, this step paves the way for cooperations in the field of natural gas trading.

In July 2007, EEX launched the Natural Gas Spot and Derivatives Markets in two German market areas. Since then, the offer in natural gas trading has been expanded continuously. Today, trading participants can conclude trading transactions on the Spot Market for delivery in the German GASPOOL and NCG market areas and the Dutch TTF market area around the clock. Moreover, EEX has established a reference price in short-term trading with the daily reference price which is also used by the German market area operators to settle control energy with all gas shippers in accordance with requirements by the Federal Network Agency.
