Investment-grade bond issuance continues to ramp up, and that's going to push rates and credit spreads higher—at least that's what the market watchers are expecting. The consensus seems to be building around this thesis. LQD holdings are being closely monitored as investors position ahead of what could be meaningful shifts in the credit markets. Worth keeping an eye on how this unfolds.

Bond issuance accelerates, with rising interest rates and credit spreads? I already said that this wave of the bond market is about to change. If you don't get on board now, you'll have to wait until the flowers wither.

With such a strong bond issuance, interest rates are likely to rise and spreads will widen. Be careful now; LQD might be under pressure.

As for bond issuance, in simple terms, it's about increasing the interest spread. Keep a close eye on LQD. In this market rotation, those who can't keep up will have to cut losses.

Is LQD really about to rise this time? It feels like every time they say it will go up, but what happens...

LQD, we need to keep a close eye on this. It seems that as bond issuance increases, interest rates are also rising. Will the credit spread blow up then... depends on how things develop later.

Bond issuance has increased again and again, this wave is probably going to cause a market crash.

Should LQD be sold now? It feels like the bond issuance is so aggressive that a correction is inevitable sooner or later.
