Headline inflation slowed in the U.S. as May’s consumer price index reading came in below expectations, just as upgrades outnumbered downgrades for a fourth consecutive month—reflecting issuers’ improving credit quality. But not all is well in credit, as signs point to heightened geopolitical risk. There were four sovereign downgrades in the month, including three in Eastern Europe affected by the extended conflict in Ukraine. Weakness persists at the low end of credit: downgrades into the ‘CCC’/’C’ category continued to rise even as upgrades out of the category continued to decline. Despite fewer defaults in May, the global default tally remains elevated, and Europe’s year-to-date tally remains at its highest since 2008.
