While the junk bond has shown some relief, the rise of HYG (High Yield ETF) is spectacular. It has gained more than 10% in a few days. It has traded more than 10% of its NAV. This can only be explained by greater demand of such ETF. This is really mysterious. Why someone would like to pay such a premium over the actual worth? short squeeze or hedging?
