Credit is becoming more accessible in the U.S. as Treasury yields drop, making borrowing easier for businesses and individuals. Investor expectations, despite no rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, contribute to lower Treasury yields and reduced costs for corporate bonds. This has prompted a surge in investment-grade corporate bonds, speculative-grade loans and consumer-backed asset-backed securities (ABS). Recent data indicate a decline in the number of banks tightening lending standards, suggesting the potential for the economy to enter a growth cycle, despite earlier recession concerns.
