The report studies several different markets to illustrate their level of interconnectedness, namely, (i) short-term funding markets, (ii) corporate bond markets, (iii) leveraged loans and CLO markets, (iv) municipal securities markets, (v) residential mortgage markets and other consumer lending markets and (vi) the commercial mortgage markets.  With respect to each of these markets, the report examines COVID-19-induced stresses of different types, which fall into three categories.
