Europe’s Junk Bonds Cap Record Month With €22.5 Billion of Sales

European junk bonds just had their busiest month ever, with companies selling a whopping €22.5 billion worth of these high-yield, high-risk bonds in June. Investors are piling in because they see these bonds as a sweet spot—offering better returns than safer assets while still feeling relatively stable compared to other risky bets. And the trend isn’t slowing down.
Editor’s Note: Junk bonds aren’t usually the star of the show, but right now, they’re a big deal. Investors are hungry for higher returns, and with interest rates still a mess, these risky-but-not-too-risky bonds are filling the gap. It’s a sign that confidence in Europe’s corporate sector is growing—or at least that people are willing to take a chance. Either way, it’s a signal worth watching for anyone keeping tabs on where the smart (or bold) money is flowing.
