HYG: Is It Still The Best High-Yield Option?
The iShares iBoxx High Yield Corporate Bond ETF offers strong diversification, low equity correlation, and a 2.89-year duration, limiting interest rate sensitivity. Spreads are currently compressed, with no signs of excessive risk-taking or clear asymmetric recovery opportunities in the credit market. Liquidity and high-yield spreads historically signal stress; current indicators do not suggest an imminent buying opportunity for HYG.

Fixed-Income Annual Returns And Falling Crude Oil Prices
Crude oil was down 4% Sunday night, as OPEC once again announced a production increase, a move by OPEC that will eventually help US inflation, and give the Fed another reason to lower the fed funds rate. The 10-year annual return on the TLT is still negative, and has been for a year or so.

HYG ETF: Credit Spread Sensitivity And Credit Migration Risk Is Heating Up
HYG ETF faces significant challenges due to slowing GDP growth, unstable inflation, volatile credit spreads, and rising corporate default probabilities. Credit spread and migration risks are key factors, with our regression showing a steep beta coefficient of 3.77 for credit spreads. We see short-end yields rebounding higher and 10-year yields sinking to around 3%. Positive duration can trigger price gains, but we think spread risk will override the benefits.
