The U.S. corporate bond market is variously estimated at being anywhere from $11.5 Trillion to over $38 Trillion in size as of 2025.

Estimates of new corporate bond issuance in 2026 are around $2.46 Trillion.

Assuming the bad bonds are $100 billion (less than what you said), that's roughly 1% at most of the entire U.S. corporate bond market.

Is there some reason you think anyone other than people who invest in junk bonds should be concerned about what you posted?
