Is the shrinking US junk bond market giving false signals about the health of the economy?

1 year ago

The US junk bond market has contracted by almost $200 billion since its peak in late 2021, primarily due to rising interest rates deterring companies from issuing new bonds. This reduction in supply has limited investors' options and pushed some fund managers to purchase bonds they might not have otherwise chosen. As a result, junk bond prices have been supported, but this situation raises concerns that the market may be overvalued and could experience a significant decline if economic conditions worsen.

While economic indicators have been more positive than anticipated, the potential for an economic slowdown looms, and low-rated companies that did not extend the maturity of their debt when interest rates were low could be particularly vulnerable. The US junk bond market's contraction has implications for investors and may provide misleading signals about the overall health of the world's largest economy.
