This trend underscores the pressing challenges faced by high-yield borrowers on both sides of the Atlantic, with refinancing costs reaching levels seen only in severe crises over the past two decades. Not to mention that HY credit spreads are low, so what if they were to start widening sharply? \n\n#HighYieldBonds #FinancialInsights #MarketTrends #DeutscheBank #BankOfAmerica #Finance\n\nSource: Bloomberg, Deutsche Bank."
