Today's Headlines
Bloomberg:
- The emerging-market corporate bond rally so far this year will reverse as the global recession and tight credit markets increase defaults, JPMorgan Chase said. Default rates for high-yield corporate bonds in developing nations may rise to 5.9%, compared with an earlier forecast of 2.8%, JPMorgan strategists Warren Mar and Victoria Miles wrote in a research note dated Feb. 6.
- Earnings estimates for small-stock companies are being revised upward at the slowest rate since at least 1988, a sign that analysts’ expectations are starting to bottom out, according to Citigroup Inc.(C). Positive revisions fell to 16% at the end of October 2008, less than half as much as a year earlier, according to Citigroup data. Since 1988, the figure has been below 20% only twice before, in October 2001 at 17% and at 19% in October 1990. The peak, 67%, came in November 1997.
