Annual US investment-grade corporate bond sales have reached their second-highest level ever as companies capitalize on lower borrowing costs to refinance debt, fund acquisitions and invest in AI initiatives. Supply of $1.502 trillion has edged last year's total of $1.496 trillion and is the highest level since 2020. It's been a record year for global bond sales, which have reached $6 trillion for the first time. Patrice Altongy, head of debt capital markets at HSBC Americas, speaks about credit issuance with Scarlet Fu on "Bloomberg Real Yield".
