Junk Bond Yield Spread Is Confirming The Recession |
Business Insider - Oct. 4, 2011 - By Lance Roberts, Street Talk Live
Recession. It is now becoming clearer, even to the mainstream media, that the "Big 'R'" is rapidly approaching, or already upon us.
Without further stimulus from the government the economy will continue its slide into negative growth. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the "Calvary" will be charging to the rescue anytime soon.
Bernanke, at this point has effectively punted to the White House for stimulative action. The White House is embroiled in partisan politics which will keep any action from occurring until most likely after the next election.
This leaves the economy and the financial markets to their own devices, and much like kids without parental supervision, they are running amok.

The trends of the economic numbers have all soured to the negative. From manufacturing to personal incomes to sentiment they all are signaling a recession lay ahead. Another confirming indicator of a recessionary track is the spread in yields between junk bonds and high quality bonds.
The chart here shows two different yield spreads. The blue represents the difference in yields between AAA rated corporate bonds to BB rated bonds while the red represents the spread between 10-yr government treasuries to BB rated bonds.
