Leverage is a volatility machine (paraphrasing Pettis). HY/IG/Loans/Distressed. No crying in the casino.

This is really something. There’s so much pain under the surface.

The CCC-B decompression we have seen has happened at an incredible speed and never when aggregate demand is rocking and rolling. There is zero decomp at BB-B levels and this suggests that decomp is fear driven vs earnings driven. I’d be careful of pressing shorts.

A reason it’s been so hard to trade this past year is because index looks tired most of the time, and then just has these monster ramps. On top of that so much rotation within. It’s a very tough environment for credit HFs.

It’s truly an unusual set of scores. Just would not have guessed this ex-ante 3 months ago. Also chuckling seeing HY cash being only marginally better than cash. Chop city.
