NEW YORK (Reuters) - Bond investors boosted U.S. corporate debt exposure to the highest levels since at least 2005 as they took a more optimistic economic outlook, according to a Bank of America Merrill Lynch survey released late Tuesday [Jan. 25]. The first quarter survey found 89 percent of high-grade corporate bond investors were overweighted with those assets, well up from 29 percent in the fourth quarter. In riskier high-yield bonds, 71 percent of investors were overweight, compared with 30 percent in the prior survey.

NEW YORK - Fears about the global economy led to the biggest panic in financial markets since the 2008 financial crisis. The Dow plunged nearly 513 points Thursday, its biggest point decline since Oct. 22, 2008. Only three of the 500 stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500 index had gains. Oil fell by 6 percent. The yield on the two-year Treasury note hit a record low as investors sought out relatively stable investments.

There's no end in sight for Europe's debt crisis - unless it is the end of the euro itself. The finance ministers of the 17 eurozone countries are meeting in Brussels this week, desperate to come up with a solution as Italy heads toward financial chaos. The world's central banks, spearheaded by the Federal Reserve, are coordinating efforts to provide liquidity to global markets. Investors are fleeing. Italy had no choice but to entice bondholders with a record 7.89 percent yield for three-year bonds, up from the high but still bearable 4.93 percent it paid as recently as October. The cloud of recession looms over the Continent, with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development slashing its prediction of Europe's economic growth to 0.2 percent.

Prices for Treasury securities jumped Thursday, sending the yield on the two-year note to a record low as investors rushed to U.S. government debt in search of safety. The yield on the two-year Treasury note fell to 0.26 percent, a record low. Late Wednesday it was 0.34 percent. Bond yields fall when demand for them increases. That means traders are willing to accept smaller returns in exchange for investments they consider to be relatively stable. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.39 percent, the lowest level since October. That's down from 2.62 percent late Wednesday. Its price jumped $2.06 for every $100 invested. The 10-year yield is used as a benchmark for many other interest rates. When it drops, rates on mortgage and other consumer loans usually follow suit. The yi...
