About Junk Bond Spread
The Junk Bond Spread measures the yield difference between high-yield corporate bonds and US Treasuries. A widening spread indicates growing credit risk fears, often preceding economic downturns. A narrowing spread suggests investor confidence and willingness to take on risk.
