Corporate bond issuance is a gauge that tells us how the broader economy is doing.

Foreigners account for massive portions of bond and stock ownership. Some experts say they fear the economic impact of White House policies.

S&P Global Ratings found there’s also a rise in companies that default multiple times.

Both government and corporate bond yields have been climbing. For many companies, though, higher revenue more than covers the cost.

More than 230 companies declared bankruptcy before the end of April. What is happening?
