As Treasury yields stay elevated and spreads remain historically tight, rates appear to be bleeding directly into credit — and investors are increasingly viewing credit through a rates lens. In this episode of Making Sense, Brian Larocca, head of Vida Portfolio Solutions, Americas, joins Benjamin Kinney, global head of Credit and Public Finance Sales, to discuss what a "ratesified" market structure means for price discovery, electronification and portfolio trading. They also explore how policy uncertainty may be better expressed in FX than duration, why AI/data-center financing is still in the early innings (and what that means for clearing prices and volatility) and how private credit is evolving after “SaaSPocalypse.” To learn more about J.P.
