Will Coreweave Trigger a Blowup in the US Junk Bond Market? Is Oracle Next?
CoreWeave's bond yields have surged to 16%, with the five-year CDS implying a default probability of 63%, a level comparable to that before the Lehman bankruptcy. This poses a direct threat to the $14.1 billion in data center junk bonds backed by its rental income. According to Deutsche Bank, an even greater risk lies with Oracle—whose BBB rating is at the lower end of investment grade and whose CDS surged 36 basis points in two days. If downgraded, it would trigger forced institutional sell-offs, allowing the crisis to spread from junk bonds to the core of the investment-grade market.
