For the first time since 1998, primary dealers are net short corporate bonds.

They've sold more credit exposure than they actually own—a dramatic shift from holding an average $16B of inventory in 2017. Most of the short position is in longer-dated bonds, where rising yields hurt the most. With credit spreads near multi-decade lows, the reward for taking that risk is minimal. If yields keep rising, dealers look well positioned. But if bonds rally, they could be forced to cover into a market with limited supply, accelerating the move. One thing history shows: credit markets often crack—or recover—before equities do. Source: Bull Theory
