This quarterly event is significant for bond dealers, and analysts expect that the uncertainty surrounding the elections will start to impact borrowing spreads from September onward. Consequently, issuers are likely to slow the pace of borrowing after completing most of their issuance needs earlier in the year. Morgan Stanley has advised investors to become comfortable with the uncertainty surrounding election outcomes, while Bank of America noted that corporate investment decisions may also be restrained due to this uncertainty. In light of these developments, firms are reportedly 'pulling forward' debt sales to avoid potential disruptions related to the elections.
