1543 GMT - Corporate bonds have solid fundamentals, but their spreads have little scope to decline further from current levels, State Street Investment Management says in its 2026 outlook. "Generally, spreads for both investment grade credit and high-yield debt are unlikely to decline significantly given current low levels," it says. Corporate credit still offers "reasonably attractive carry" and should remain a core allocation, but State Street IM says it sees more attractive opportunities in mortgages, structured credit, and private credit.
