Bloomberg Opinion: Optimism Is Justified. Valuations? Not So Much


Credit Benchmark CCI data on the credit quality of US, UK, and EU Industrial companies has been cited by John Authers in his Bloomberg ‘Points of Return’ column. He writes:

What remains far harder to discern is whether the incredible valuations of both credit and equity can possibly be sustained if central bank support were to be removed.
