LeBas has previously highlighted a disconnect between elevated systemic credit risk perceptions and low investment grade credit spreads in recent commentary. In a separate note, he responded to rumors about Gundlach's market actions, suggesting an effort to increase liquidity and demand for his existing assets earlier this year. His observations come as investors assess the latest market response to unexpected political developments.
