Europe: M&A has picked up momentum.
China: This chart shows Chinese state enterprises’ (black) and private firms’ (orange) ratio of cash to short-term debt.
Equities: March S&P 500 put options outstanding keep climbing. (Put options are the right, but not the obligation, to sell an asset at a specified price. More put options outstanding can be seen as more negative sentiment in the market.)
Global Developments: Green shoots in global manufacturing?
Food for Thought: According to BCA, voter turnout in swing states correlates with unemployment.
