Companies tap US bond market for nearly $70 billion, starting September on a busy note By Matt Tracy WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Investment-grade corporate borrowers tapped U.S. debt markets for nearly $70 billion so far this week, beating forecasts for the Labor Day-shortened first week of September as borrowing costs remain near record lows. At least 54 borrowers sold more than $67 billion worth of paper this week as of Friday’s market open, according to market participants. This well outpaced forecasts heading into the week of roughly $60 billion. Tuesday by far added the most to the week’s primary market tally, with 28 issuers selling $43.3 billion in bonds in what is historically the busiest day of the year for high-grade bond market deal-making. The Tuesday deal frenzy ranked among the busiest post-Labor Day market opens ever for the high-grade primary market, according to Blair Shwedo, head of investment-grade sales and trading at U.S. Bank in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was an expected busy day for the calendar, he noted, but surprising in the high number of smaller-sized deals compared to previous such days in recent years. "The past few (post-Labor Day holiday) days that have been that large had mega-deals," Shwedo said. "So the diversity there this Tuesday was pretty impressive." The largest deal to start the week was U.S. pharmaceutical company Merck’s $6 billion six-part senior note offering, which will help fund its $10 billion buyout of peer Verona Pharma announced on July 9. The second-biggest bond sale was health insurer Cigna’s $4 billion deal to refinance its soon-maturing term loan and for general corporate purposes. 3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com. See disclosure here or remove ads. Spreads on high-grade deals this week, or the premium over U.S. Treasuries paid by U.S. companies for debt, remained near all-time tight levels that have persisted in recent weeks. They last averaged 79 basis points (bps), according to the ICE BofA Corporate Index, having risen from a record-tight 75 bp level hit on August 15. "From our perspective, deals have been coming pretty tight compared to existing paper," said Mike Sanders, head of fixed income at Madison, Wisconsin-based asset manager Madison Investments. Current cheap borrowing costs could cheapen further if the Federal Reserve begins rate cuts at the September 16-17 meeting of the Federal Open Markets Committee. The U.S. rate futures market has priced in an 88% chance of a 25-bp rate cut by the Fed this month. It has also priced in a 12% chance of a bigger 50-bp cut following data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showing U.S. nonfarm payrolls rose by an underwhelming 22,000 jobs last month. "A Fed easing cycle is generally beneficial for corporations and could also help boost economic growth," said Natalie Trevithick, head of investment-grade credit at Los Angeles-based asset manager Payden & Rygel, in a written note. "Such an environment could enable spreads on corporate bonds to remain at their currently tight levels for some time to come or possibly even tighten further."

Ten big banks defeat antitrust lawsuit in US over bond trades NEW YORK (Reuters) -A U.S. judge on Tuesday dismissed an antitrust lawsuit accusing 10 large banks of conspiring to rig corporate bond prices at the expense of ordinary investors, after the original judge recused himself because his wife owned stock in one of the banks. Investors accused Bank of America, Barclays, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, NatWest and Wells Fargo of overcharging them by billions of dollars since 2006 on "odd-lot" trades. Such trades involve fewer than 1,000 bonds or are worth less than $1 million, and comprise most corporate bond trades. Investors said the banks illegally charged spreads 25% to 300% higher than on larger "round-lot" trades, inflating profits. U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni in Manhattan said the investors failed to prove the banks conspired to operate the Bond Desk, Trading Edge and Trade Web platforms as a "catch-and-kill" operation to thwart fair prices, while boycotting rival platforms that promoted fair prices. Though the banks controlled an estimated 65% of U.S. underwriting and 90% of U.S. trading volume in corporate bonds, "it does not follow that defendants have the power to control pricing of the bonds in the secondary market," Caproni said. The judge also found no overt acts by the banks to advance the alleged conspiracy in the four years before the lawsuit was filed in April 2020, dooming the Sherman Act case. Lawyers for the investors did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Caproni’s dismissal is with prejudice, meaning the case cannot be brought again. 3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com. See disclosure here or remove ads. The case was originally dismissed by U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman in October 2021. Four months later, Liman’s clerk disclosed that the judge’s wife owned Bank of America stock while the case was pending, but it didn’t affect the judge’s decision making. In July 2024, the federal appeals court in Manhattan revived the case, saying Liman’s conflict was "almost certainly" unknowing but could call his impartiality into question.

Busy September US corporate bond market expected despite lower rate cut odds By Matt Tracy and Shankar Ramakrishnan (Reuters) -Companies’ U.S. dollar bond issuance will likely carry September to one of the heaviest months for investment-grade supply this year, despite more volatility in Treasury yields as hopes for a bigger Federal Reserve interest rate cut were dimmed by recent data that pointed to still-sticky inflation, said bankers and strategists. September has historically averaged roughly $140 billion of investment-grade bond issuance, according to data from Informa Global Markets. But last year set a record for the busiest September with over $172 billion in new deals, as companies rushed to seize on healthy investor appetite for higher yields, according to the IGM data. The latest inflation data this week showed U.S. producer prices surged while consumer prices rose in line with forecasts, in turn leading the market to place lower odds on a substantial interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve next month. But bond bankers expect this September could again tally robust corporate bond volumes despite the high inflation print and a change in the Fed’s expected rate-cutting path, as corporate treasurers are not expected to let this sway their planned issuance. "Data pointing to some delay in interest rate cuts probably does not influence corporate bond issuance in September," said Victor Forte, head of IG capital markets and U.S. debt syndicate at New York City-based investment bank Mizuho Americas. "It is traditionally a busy month and is expected to be so again regardless of small changes in spreads (or) yields,” Forte added. Corporate credit spreads, or the premium over Treasuries paid by companies, widened a few basis points on some corporate bonds this week, but they have not moved materially enough to shift company treasurers’ September bond issuance plans next month, Forte said. “Their decision to issue bonds in September hinges more on corporate finance needs than it is trying to predict when the Fed may cut interest rates," he said. Corporate spreads on average moved about 1 bp tighter this week and were last at 77 bps, making them just 3 bps closer to their tightest levels since reaching 74 bps on July 28, 1998, according to ICE BAML index. Bond yields were at 4.94% or 41 bps inside levels they touched in January, the same index data showed. "With expectations for annual IG supply wrapped around $1.5 trillion in future years, you can expect busier calendars as we approach end of summer going forward,” said Kyle Stegemeyer, head of IG debt capital markets and syndicate at Minneapolis-based U.S. Bank. With valuations skyrocketing in 2024, many investors are uneasy putting more money into stocks. Unsure where to invest next?

Analysis-De-risking mood adds more demand for US corporate bonds By Shankar Ramakrishnan and Matt Tracy (Reuters) -Investors have begun to de-risk their equity portfolios and buy more investment-grade corporate bonds as U.S. stock indices near new record highs, in turn pushing corporate borrowing costs to their tightest levels since 1998 for the second time in eight months. Credit spreads have recovered since they were forced sharply wider on April 2, or ’Liberation Day’, when President Donald Trump announced trade tariffs and the market became uneasy about corporate fundamentals in a potential environment made susceptible to inflationary pressures and slower economic growth. The average investment-grade bond spread last stood at 80 basis points (bps), which is just 3 bps away from its lowest point of 77 hit in 1998 and had previously touched last November, according to ICE BAML data. It had touched 121 bps, or its highest since November 2023, in the days after Liberation Day. The recovery has come on the back of optimism, confirmed by recent corporate earnings, that the highest-rated companies had used the past year to reform balance sheets by paying down debt, avoiding costly acquisitions, and were prepared for an economy impacted by the inflationary impulse of tariffs or a trade war. "The sharp tightening of credit spreads seen since Liberation Day is based on perception that trade and tariff risks have peaked. . .it also can be attributed to investors’ confidence in US corporate fundamentals," said Edward Marrinan, credit strategist at SMBC Nikko Securities. The Federal Reserve’s reluctance to cut interest rates substantially, with inflation still stubbornly above preset targets, has also kept corporate bond yields high enough to attract strong demand from yield-focused investors like insurance companies and pension funds. But worries that corporate valuations are nearing a peak have also prompted some investors to shift money from equities to investment-grade corporate bonds, adding an extra level of pressure on credit spreads, said bankers. This heightened investor demand coupled with an overall market shift out of equities into debt could push spreads tighter in the coming months, said Michael Levitin, managing director and co-head of liquid credit at asset management firm MidOcean Partners. "For the first time that I can think of in my career, we’re seeing a shift out of equities into debt," he added, noting it was driven by those beginning to realize they may not get the same return out of equities as they did before. "We have had more conversations, interest in credit strategies and investment-grade fixed income given the run-up in equities," said Nick Elfner, co-head of research at Breckinridge Capital Advisors. About $10 billion has moved out of domestic equity funds and ETFs since the beginning of 2025, at the same time as over $180 billion has flowed into taxable bond funds and ETFs, according to data from the Investment Company Institute. This reflects the added demand for fixed income, Elfner noted. Companies in the meantime are taking full advantage of this rush of demand for their bonds and raising new debt, while paying little to no new-issue premium as order books are heavily oversubscribed. The average new issue concession on nearly $51 billion of corporate bonds issued in July was a measly 2 bps with order books covered by over four times, according to Informa (LON:INF) Global Markets data. To be sure, analysts and strategists expect this dream run in spreads to reverse, albeit gradually, in the second half, especially if the current optimism about the tariff impact on credit fundamentals is found to be misplaced. "Our base case for (investment grade) credit spreads is widening, not tightening, as we have a forecast of 110 bps through year-end, but that number is still well within the long-term median level for spreads (of) 130 bps,” said Winnie Cisar, global head of strategy at CreditSights. Companies have had a lot of power to push through pricing to consumers and maintain strong margins despite these macroeconomic headwinds - yet a period of rising interest rates means interest coverage has come down from record highs in 2021 and created a mixed picture for credit fundamentals, Cisar added. "If interest expense is somewhat elevated and concerns grow around the trajectory for growth and profit margins, that could act as a catalyst for a widening in spreads."
