Investors were net purchasers of fund assets (including those of conventional funds and ETFs) for the third week in a row, injecting a net $14.2 billion for the LSEG Lipper fund-flows week ended Wednesday, November 8. A weaker-than-expected October jobs report, a drop in oil prices and inflation expectations, and rising hopes that the Fed is done hiking interest rates pushed equities to their longest daily winning streak in two years and the 10-year Treasury yield dropped to its lowest level since September. The Dow locked in its longest winning streak since late July, rising for the sixth consecutive trading session, on Monday, November 6.

The credit spreads are tightest since 2007 and likely to significantly spike over the next 12 months. The recent rise in real yields has not affected the junk bonds, as HYG has been flat over the last 6 months. The increase in real yields increases the probability of a recession and credit crunch.

iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF at risk from a reversal in risk appetite amid ultra-low credit spreads and a deterioration in the economy. The ETF offers a yield to maturity of 8.3% largely due to high UST yields, but actual returns should be significantly lower after bond losses and expenses. While HYG is still likely to outperform US stocks and post reasonable real returns, I would not buy at these levels other than as a relative value play.

I expect junk bonds to face instability due to their artificially high prices and the potential for a recession. Despite HYG's impressive yield the risk-reward ratio is inadequate. I rate HYG a Sell due to its poor risk-reward ratio resulting from the fact that its yield is well below the historic trend line compared to 10-year treasuries.
