Investors are favoring leveraged loans as a top performer in credit markets due to the appeal of floating-rate debt amid expectations of prolonged higher interest rates. Leveraged loans have yielded 4% for investors in 2024, alongside Asia-Pacific credit, outperforming investment-grade corporate bonds which have lost 1.5%. The high demand for leveraged loans has led to reduced debt costs for companies and a record-breaking month in May for US leveraged loan borrowers, with $160 billion in debt financings. Despite some economic weaknesses, the stable economy and signs of cooling inflation suggest low default rates in the near future, attracting risky corporate borrowers back to the market.

A new study reveals that women who follow a Mediterranean diet can live significantly longer. The diet, which emphasizes foods like olive oil, fruits, fish, nuts, and vegetables while limiting red meat and sweets, was associated with a 23 percent reduced risk of all-cause mortality in a cohort study of 25,315 women over 25 years. Factors like inflammation, insulin resistance, and body mass index were found to contribute to this reduced risk, with cholesterol and glycemic measures playing minimal roles. The study suggests further research to explore other potential pathways for the diet's association with lower mortality rates. Previous research also indicates that a Mediterranean diet could lower the risk of dementia, even among individuals with a higher genetic predisposition for the condition.

S&P Global Ratings downgraded France's credit rating to AA- from AA, criticizing the government's missed budget deficit goals post-Covid pandemic spending and energy crisis, impacting President Macron's economic reformer image before European elections. Despite reforms and economic growth recovery, the deficit is expected to remain above 3% of GDP in 2027. Finance Minister Le Maire defended the government's economic strategy, aiming to reduce the deficit below 3% by 2027 due to increased debt from pandemic spending. This downgrade puts France seven notches above junk status, raising concerns about the country's debt sustainability. Macron's government faces opposition backlash and challenges in advancing economic policies amid political fragmentation and protests.
