Sector Performance and Market Composition
- The Software Trough: The software sector is currently experiencing a "trough" across the entire capital structure [00:00:25].
- Equity Performance: While there was a brief relief rally recently, software equities remain down approximately 20% year-to-date [00:00:33].
- Leveraged Loan Stagnation: A modest recovery in software leveraged loans seen in March has officially stalled [00:00:40].
