Summary
Tight spreads, tighter credit: What’s next for high-yield? Tim Leary, Senior Portfolio Manager on RBC GAM’s BlueBay U.S. Fixed Income team, shares insights on high-yield market dynamics and potential credit risks in the year ahead. Spreads across high-yield markets remain tight, supported by strong investor interest and steady issuance. High-yield bond issuance can align with positive returns, underscoring resilience in market performance. Trump’s proposal to cap credit card fees at 10% could hurt borrowers, with subprime consumers likely facing reduced access to credit.
