Riskier Companies Are Issuing More Junk Bonds. That’s Not A Vote Of Confidence In The Economy.

FYI: It has been a good week for risky corporate borrowers in the high-yield bond market.

A record amount of global debt now offers negative yields, according to Barclays, as central banks signal plans to ease monetary policy. So investors have piled into riskier markets in search of yield, driving a rally in the lower-rated parts of the bond market, known as high yield or junk.
