On January 9th, INGs Timothy Rahill and Jeroen van den Broek stated in a report that euro-denominated credit issuance is projected to reach a record high of €485 billion (approximately US$565 billion) in 2026. Analysts point out that, in addition to European companies seeking debt refinancing, US technology companies are expected to be the main driver of increased supply. Furthermore, increased capital expenditure and active M&A activity may also push up credit supply. Analysts stated that euro-denominated credit supply in 2025 is only slightly above €450 billion.A senior Ukrainian official said the missile was likely equipped with an inert (simulated) warhead.A senior Ukrainian official said that Russian Hazel missiles struck a workshop of a state-owned enterprise in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv.On January 9th, Mohd Seediq Jantan, Investment Strategy Director and local economist at IPP Financial Advisory Holdings Ltd., stated that the support for the US dollar is not primarily due to outright risk aversion, but rather to a reassessment of market expectations for US interest rates. Investors are adjusting their positions based on labor market data that could potentially delay the start of the next Federal Reserve easing cycle. He said, “With market forecasts for non-farm payrolls quietly rising and the unemployment rate expected to stabilize around 4.5%, the market tends to hold dollars before the data release.” Furthermore, he noted that any move by the Supreme Court to remove Trumps tariffs would alleviate inflationary pressures and boost corporate profit margins, but could also complicate the US fiscal outlook and limit the scope for Trumps proposed stimulus package. “This combination will allow the Fed to continue focusing on growth and employment, rather than inflation, thereby strengthening dollar yield support in the short term and encouraging investors to allocate funds to safe-haven and highly liquid currencies until the situation becomes clearer,” he said.January 9th - On January 7th, 2026, Pan Gongsheng, Governor of the Peoples Bank of China, met with former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien.

Apollo holds crypto for clients as it expands in digital assets

In a significant effort to introduce bitcoin to institutional investors, one of the biggest asset managers in the world, Apollo Global Management Inc., has started storing cryptocurrency on behalf of its customers via a collaboration with the digital asset exchange Anchorage Digital.


The decision was made amid a difficult year for the cryptocurrency industry, with bitcoin, the biggest digital asset in the world, down more than 50% since the beginning of 2022 as investors seemed uneasy about the world's historically high inflation rates.


Diogo Mónica, president of Anchorage Digital, a cryptocurrency company that possesses a national trust bank license from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, said: "It's the affirmation of this relentless drumbeat that [crypto] is here to stay." "The fact that there is short-term volatility doesn't really matter for the huge institutions since this is a process and technology with a very long time horizon."


Apollo said its partnership with Anchorage goes back to the middle of last year, when the company first started looking into how to best protect its customers' crypto assets. Apollo refused to specify what kinds of crypto assets it now owns. Apollo subsequently took part in the Series D investment round for Anchorage, which was completed in December 2021.


Adam Eling, chief operating officer of Apollo's digital assets division, stated, "We look forward to cooperating with Anchorage for the protection of client assets as we explore innovative ways to deploy blockchain technology throughout Apollo's company."


Mónica said that negotiations regarding how Anchorage can eventually strengthen its partnership with Apollo are already underway.


Christine Moy, a former executive at JPMorgan Chase who was recruited by Apollo in April, will oversee the company's digital asset strategy and play a crucial role in its investment choices in cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, and Web3, a decentralized version of the internet.
