The article discusses an increase in the interest of large institutions in purchasing U.S. junk bonds as prices decrease, following the sale of junk bonds by a large number of individual investors due to the small investors' concerns regarding conflict in the Middle East and Ukraine and the junk bonds' prices. Graphs are presented of U.S.- marketed high-yield corporate bonds, average yield premium to Treasurys on U.S. high-yield corporate bonds, and average yields on U.S. junk bonds.
