What happened
Several money managers, including Oaktree Capital Management, Carlyle Group Inc., and KKR & Co., are actively seeking US leveraged loans that are selling at bargain prices. These firms are considering purchasing the loans and packaging them into collateralized loan obligations. Earlier this week, over 90% of these loans were trading at a discount to face value.

Why it matters
Spreads on the leveraged debt are near their widest level in the past year. The market faces concerns that higher borrowing costs and inflation could strain the weakest companies and trigger defaults.
