The big question is whether this strength will continue? In this episode of our\u00a0Credit Crunch\u00a0podcast,\u00a0Mahesh Bhimalingam,\u00a0Bloomberg Intelligence\u2019s global head of credit strategy spoke to Head of Credit LDI at Generali Asset Management\u00a0Amir Fergani\u00a0to discuss a range of topics. These ranged from tariffs, fiscal policies, German and French politics and their effect on inflation, growth and central-bank policy, the dollar weakness and its impact on global credit, and the
