JUNK BOND SPREADS RETRACE RECORD WIDENING
Junk bond spreads narrowed to their tightest since July 30 this past Friday, closing at 319 basis points, according to the ICE BofA High-Yield Bond Index .MERH0A0.
Spreads have recovered from a nine-month wide of 393bps hit on Aug. 5, after a global market sell-off caused a rush to the safehaven of U.S. Treasuries following weak employment figures.
Investment-grade credit spreads also blew out to 112bps on Aug. 5, their widest since Dec. 6.
"The real-time indicators of US GDP growth have improved since the weak payroll report, and the inflation data has moderated enough to warrant a Fed rate cut in September," wrote JPMorgan's Nelson Jantzen in a Monday note.
Junk bond spreads have tightened more than investment-grade spreads .MERC0A0 this month on renewed optimism around issuers, said Saira Malik, CIO at Nuveen, in a Monday note, adding that "only a small portion of the debt held by the sector will be maturing in the next few years."
