Chinese junk bonds fell after Cloud Live Technology Group Co. said it will miss payments due today as the nation braces for its second onshore corporate default.

The yield on solar-cell maker Baoding Tianwei Baobian Electric Co.’s notes due 2018 climbed seven basis points to 7.49 percent after Cloud Live’s statement late Monday, according to exchange data. Fertilizer company Inner Mongolia Nailun Group Inc.’s 2018 bonds surged 50 basis points to 21.06 percent. Higher-graded securities showed little reaction.
