is there a metric which accounts for volumes and not purely spread based? Is CDX maturity neutral (bundle of different maturities) and if yes Oracle 5yrs is it the 5 year bond CDS or it is 5 year CDS on all Oracle bonds?
for those that need things simplified like me:
lenders are getting worried that big ai-spending companies might not afford all the growth. the price to insure their debt is jumping, which signals higher risk and makes borrowing more expensive for them.
