Empowering Users with AI-Driven Features at ��׶��Ƶ

Artificial Intelligence is transforming how our products, solutions, and humans operate. At ��׶��Ƶ, our mission is to combine our people powered insights with AI. Our new AI feature is meant to simply enhance our research and data, not replace. We’ve prioritized making your workflow more efficient, insightful, and focused, so you can spend less time on manual tasks and more time on the high value analysis you came to ��׶��Ƶ for in the first place.

Solving Real Problems with AI

Our platform has long been trusted for its robust data management and collaboration tools. Historically, users often spent hours gathering inputs, generating reports, and sifting through large volumes of information to find the signal. The process was effective but time-consuming, limiting the opportunity for strategic thinking.

Now, you can query our datasets directly across the platform without jumping between sources or building manual spreadsheets. For example, you can pull a forward view of high-yield deals likely to come to market over the next few weeks. The result: faster workflows, richer insights, and more time for strategic thinking.

AI Features That Make a Difference

Our commitment to improving your experience led us to integrate powerful AI capabilities into the platform to cut down the time you spend manually pulling data. Here’s what our new AI now brings to the table:

Smart Search & Article Chat:

Instantly find the information you need. Use natural language queries in the main search bar to locate key financial metrics, summarize lengthy reports, or highlight top risks.

Search for: “latest sector commentary,” “company rating changes,” or “issuer risk summaries”.
Automated Data Tagging:

Say goodbye to manual sorting. Our AI automatically tags and organizes research, ensuring you can filter and find relevant content effortlessly.
Predictive Analytics & Intelligent Recommendations:

Unlock actionable insights with predictive tools that surface trends, potential risks, and investment opportunities tailored to your interests.

Improve Your Everyday

Pinpoint research instantly

Looking for the latest sector commentary, rating actions, or issuer risk summaries? Our AI-powered search makes it easier to locate the exact information you need. Instead of scrolling through dozens of reports or navigating complex databases, simply type any query and receive a curated list of results in seconds. This instant access to targeted insights means you can respond to client requests, market developments, or internal questions with confidence and speed. Whether you’re preparing for a meeting or conducting a deep dive into a new issuer, our smart search keeps you one step ahead, letting you focus on analysis rather than manual research.

Use this prompt: “Recent downgrades in the tech sector”

Digest information faster

Imagine being able to distill a 30-page sector outlook into a concise set of bullet points, or extract the main financial ratios from an earnings review in moments. With our sidebar chat box in each article, you can instantly summarize long write-ups, surface key metrics, and spotlight top risks or opportunities. These quick, accurate summaries save time and help you catch critical details that can get buried in dense documents. Whether you’re tracking trends across issuers or scanning analyst commentary before a call, our AI helps you absorb the essentials fast and efficiently.

Ask this: “Summarize this article in 3 bullet points.”

Break down complex data

Need to interpret a shifting credit spread trend for portfolio risk? Or unpack the drivers behind a revenue forecast chart? Our AI turns complex visuals into plain language, so you can move from raw data to actionable insights.

Perfect for presentations, client questions, and day-to-day decision-making, this feature helps you explain the numbers clearly and act on them with confidence.

Try it out: “What are the key drivers for this company’s EBITDA?”

Bridge language gaps

We want to make it easier to access our information regardless of language. Our AI makes it simple to translate articles instantly, so you’re never held back by language barriers. You can also keep the conversation going by asking follow-up questions in the article chat in your preferred language.

Prompt with this: “Translate the executive summary into Spanish.”

Get answers to tough questions

US Weekly: Bessent’s Bond Boost

Nora Fancsalszky — Fri, 06 Dec 2024 13:55:56 +0000

Executive Summary

Treasury Markets: Yields plummeted by 22-25 bp across the curve as investors welcomed news of Trump’s perceived market-friendly Treasury Secretary nominee, Scott Bessent. The 2Y yield slid 10 bp lower DoD on the announcement—the largest daily move since September’s nonfarm payrolls print (+22 bp)—and finished the week 22 bp lower at 4.15%. Similarly, the 10Y fell 13 bp DoD on Monday—the largest daily move since the day after the US presidential election (+16 bp)—and ended the week 23 bp lower at 4.17%. Headline and core PCE held steady on a MoM basis at +0.2% and +0.3%, respectively, while YoY figures aligned with an anticipated acceleration to +2.3% headline and +2.8% core. Despite being viewed by many investors as merely a starting point in bilateral trade and immigration negotiations, new developments around Trump’s proposed tariff policies continued to stoke reflation concerns. Even amid the market repricing to a shallower path of rate cuts in 2025, we think risks are skewed to the upside in terms of the Fed funds rate at YE25 and Treasury yields in the medium term.
Credit Markets: Credit spreads widened by 2 bp to 82 bp in IG and 11 bp to 272 bp in HY as risk sentiment softened slightly on escalating tariff proposals. The exuberant rates rally more than offset the spread widening, sending IG yields 19 bp lower to 5.06% and HY yields 9 bp lower to 7.13%, both around mid-October levels. Though IG weekly excess returns were a wash at -0.10%, total returns notched a significant +1.47% gain, outperforming the +0.41% total return in HY. Across both IG and HY, spread widening was driven by lower-rated tranches and the long-end as investors retreated up the rating spectrum and into the front-end of the curve. The entire AAA-A complex widened just 1 bp compared to BBBs (+2 bp) and BBs and Bs similarly widened just 9-11 bp while CCCs widened 16 bp. In IG, the front-end remained flat on the week, with incremental spread widening out the curve. HY curve performance was more uniform, with 12-13 bp of spread widening past the front-end, which outperformed with just 5 bp of spread widening.
Municipal Markets: Boosted by the strong move by Treasuries, tax-exempt yields fell last week, but by a smaller magnitude. For example, in 10-years, the UST yield dropped by 23 bp as the BVAL AAA yield ended 12 bp lower. Due to the underperformance relative to Treasuries, excess returns for the tax-exempt indices were negative and muni/Treasury yield ratios inched upwards (munis cheaper), although ratios were well below the 90-day averages. This week’s new issue calendar totals $15.3 bn, of which $12.0 bn is tax-exempt, $1.7 bn is subject to the AMT, and $1.4 bn is taxable; notable deals include a $1.5 bn New Jersey deal, $750 mn taxable Hawaii GO bonds, Orlando airport and more.
Equity Markets: The equity rally extended over the week, with the S&P 500 and DJIA both advancing to record closes twice on Tuesday and Friday and the Nasdaq nearing its all-time high set a few weeks ago. Weekly performance was similar across the three major indices, with the S&P 500 (+1.1%) and Nasdaq (+1.1%) following closely behind the DJIA (+1.4%). While the Russell 2000 (+1.2%) fell in the middle of the pack last week, the rotation into small caps boosted November performance to +11.0%, well above the ~6-8% monthly return range for the three major indices. After hitting an intraday peak of 15.72 on Monday, volatility trended lower over the week to close at 13.51, 20% lower WoW.
Commodity Markets: Metal prices were mixed during the shortened holiday week. Crude prices fell this week as the market awaits upcoming production plans from OPEC+ and digests the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. WTI and Brent decreased 3% to $68.00/bbl and 2% to $72.94/bbl, respectively, on the week.
Fund Flows: For the calendar week, fixed income ETFs pulled in $3.6 bn, down 60% from the week before, due mostly to outflows from UST and IG corporate bond ETFs. November flows IG and HY corporate and muni ETFs were up MoM as net flows into agg ETFs slowed (but were still strongly positive) while UST ETFs lost assets.

For the week, the ICE Muni Index returned 0.84%; for the month of November it earned 1.63%, the best month of the year and the best performance since December 2023.
For the week ended Wednesday, net flows into muni mutual funds fell to $41 mn, from $572 in the prior week, but we do not necessarily view the significant slowdown as an indicator of reduced demand.
For the calendar week, muni ETFs added $868 mn of net new assets, which was down just 4% from the week before; for the month of November, muni ETFs added $3.5 bn, up 7% from October, the 9th consecutive month of positive flows and a 12-month-high.
