Issuance of U.S. investment grade bonds is expected to reach $100 billion this month, making it the second most profitable year ever, despite the continued fallout from the credit crisis. U.S. investment grade issuance totaled $80 billion in December, according to a report by Dealogic, an investment banking research provider, according to a Financial News report. This year's issuance of $701 billion in investment-grade bonds has surpassed last year's total volume of $662 billion. The busiest month this year was May, when $107 billion of investment grade bonds were sold, according to Dealogic. The report also estimated that there would be $20 billion of issuance in the U.S. high-yield market this month, making it the second-busiest month since May.
