Ball Corp. sold $1.3 billion of junk bonds at record-low yields amid a rally triggered by the Federal Reserve’s historic support for the market and heavy inflows into funds that buy the risky debt.
The aluminum packaging company priced the 10-year notes at a 2.875% yield, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. That’s the lowest-ever for a U.S. junk bond with a maturity of five years or longer, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
