In our fifth report on the liquidity positions of companies in our European HY coverage universe amid the COVID-19 pandemic and oil shock, we analyse issuers in the shipping & logistics and metals & mining sectors.  The impact on the shipping & logistics sector varies from moderate to severe. Names that have operations tied to air travel are, unsurprisingly, more materially affected, as are those providing passenger services. Meanwhile, tankers are benefiting for now, and container shipping is showing considerable resilience. For metals & mining, we expect the impact of COVID-19 to be substantial, with lockdown measures to affect production and the supply chain, while deteriorating macro conditions weaken underlying demand. Positively, this might be mitigated by reduced material and energy costs, as well as favourable working capital development.

In our third report on the liquidity positions of companies in our European HY coverage universe amid the COVID-19 pandemic and oil shock, we analyse issuers in the building materials & construction sector. While the pandemic could bring construction works to a halt and producers may be affected by supply chain disruptions, the lower oil prices may benefit some companies.

In our second report on the liquidity positions of companies in our European HY coverage universe amid the COVID-19 pandemic and oil shock, we analyse issuers in the speciality finance sector. We believe this sector will be affected by the current crisis with a lag, due to two adverse trends: i) mounting concerns about unsecured consumer credit; and ii) knock-on effects from significantly reduced economic activity (e.g. lower real-wage growth and higher unemployment).
