Junk Bonds Rally

FYI: (Click On Article title At Top Of Google Search)
Junk-bond prices have bounced back following their steepest decline in more than a year, underscoring the thirst for higher-yielding investments despite persistent valuation concerns.

Portfolio managers are seeking out the debt after a selloff that last week took the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield BB Effective Yield above 5% for the first time since the “taper tantrum” of mid-2013. Yields rise when prices fall.

The yield on the index, which tracks companies with the highest noninvestment-grade ratings, fell to 4.69% Tuesday, as buyers for riskier assets re-emerged and the Dow Jones Industrial Average roared back into the black for 2014 with a 215-point rise.
