  • We're only halfway through November, but junk-rated debt is down 1.1% - on pace for its worst month since oil prices were crashing in January 2016. High-yield investors aren't used to this - there have only been three down months in the last 20, with losses each time less than 0.4%.
  • Spreads are on the rise. Since hitting a low of 338 basis points in late October, they've climbed 46 basis points.
  • While some fear contagion, Marty Fridson says prices are likely just correcting from perky levels. “The bears had been gunning for this ... High yield has been very expensive. A release valve is a good way to describe it, to let some air out of the balloon.”
