Dow Jones02-10 23:16
1516 GMT - The sterling bond market is favorable for long-term bond issuers due to consistent demand from U.K. pensions and insurance companies, eToro analyst Lale Akoner says. The comment comes as U.S. tech giant Alphabet on Tuesday is selling a 100-year maturity sterling bond. "The sterling market is one of the few places where 50-year to 100-year bonds consistently find buyers," she says. "Issuing in sterling allows Alphabet to diversify its funding base" Akoner says.
