The US companies face as much as $100 billion in corporate debt this quarter, the biggest repayment since 2000, according to Fitch Ratings and Thomson Financial.
The exact figure is not calculated yet but it is expected to float between $113.6 billion for Fitch Ratings and $117.3 billion for Thomson Financial.
The recent interest rate hike spured the Treasury yield hikes. That means that «corporate coupon rates are going to rise and with the yield curve steepening, Treasurers will have to make a decision on how best to finance themselves,» according to Glen Reynolds, head of CreditSights, an independent research group.
Some problems may appear with specific companies, like GM, as the unsecured market brings new challenges to them, market analysts say.
