1329 GMT - U.S. companies placed bonds in the euro credit market in April, attracted by better financing conditions in the euro currency, Matthias Schell, senior credit analyst at LBBW says in a note. U.S. corporate bond issuances contributed to over a third of the monthly volume in the euro credit market, he says. Tech company Alphabet supplied five euro bonds totaling 6.75 billion euros ($7.58 billion) in April, "the largest euro corporate bond transaction in five years." This was followed by the second-largest transaction of the month by U.S. company Visa, consisting of four euro bonds worth 3.5 billion euros, Schell says. (miriam.mukuru@wsj.com)
