The US leveraged loan market has struggled to regain momentum following a sharp slowdown in issuance in February, as market volatility continues to weigh on activity. This week has shown signs of improvement, as $9.4b has been launched into syndication through April 15, more than the previous three weeks combined. It remains a far cry from January when weekly launches regularly topped $30b, however.
