Last Thursday, the Fed expanded the scope of its corporate debt lending facilities to buy BB-rated bonds to help companies that fell from investment grade to “junk,” or fallen angels. The worry was failing to extend aid to these cohort of businesses could create a cliff-edge effect, where borrowing costs for some of these larger borrowers like Ford could surge and tighten credit conditions.

Though the Fed’s corporate bond-buying program only got off the ground on March 23, the spread between BBB and BB bonds have nearly halved to more than 3 percentage points since they widened to around 5.50 percentage points in mid-March, based on indexes tracked by Bloomberg.
A narrower gap indicates investors are less wary of holding fallen angel bonds, reducing the usual surge in interest costs for companies downgraded to junk.
Still, the broader high-yield bond market isn’t seeing much relief from the central bank’s lending facilities.
The Fed can buy exchange-traded funds targeting a broader universe of junk debt beyond fallen angels, but the size of the facility makes it unlikely that the Fed will hold a significant chunk of U.S. sub-investment grade debt.
Moreover, the central bank’s guidelines for the lending program says the Fed will buy such ETFs only when their are gaps between their price fall far below the value of their underlying securities.
