Debt fears heighten in Europen and US over lower corporate profits, risks in leveraged buy-outs and downturn in commercial property

Lower corporate is a reality. Higher raw material prices and lower pricing power on services and finished goods are the root cause of lower corporate profits. The risks in leveraged buy-outs are very high. The bubble in leveraged buy-outs is bigger than that in the real estate. The downturn in commercial property finally creates a panic in the market place.

A new reality hit the market. Loans are being liquidated at distressed prices and banks are looking to reduce risk. Loans used to finance two of last year’s biggest buy-outs were among those hit. Measures of credit risk in the US and Europe spiked as investors unwound complex trades that lose money when credit deteriorates.
