bond market: Companies bet against high for long in bond blitz

More than $110 billion in bonds sold globally this week, the busiest start to September on record, with issuance heavily skewed to debt due in under 10 years. Prospects of a soft landing in the US and hopes that central banks will soon be able to slow their tightening campaigns make longer-dated debt more attractive to investors. But companies are instead opting to borrow for shorter periods, hoping the money will get cheaper soon.
