bond market at record-breaking pace made one thing clear: They don’t expect rates to stay elevated for long. 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. The barrage was led by investment-grade issuers, teeing up a wave of junk, including billions of dollars in buyout funding. “Companies don’t really want to lock in these high yields for a very long time if they can avoid it,” said Matt Brill, head of North America investment-grade credit at Invesco Ltd., which manages $1.5 trillion in assets.

Glenn Maxwell has decided to postpone a potential surgery to remove pins from his previously shattered ankle. This decision is driven by his determination to chase his dual World Cup dreams, despite facing stiff competition for a spot in the national squad. Maxwell's ankle troubles began in November of the previous year when he suffered a severe fracture during a lighthearted incident at a friend's 50th birthday celebration, just on the eve of the Twenty20 World Cup final in Melbourne. Following the fracture, surgical intervention was necessary, and pins were inserted to expedite the healing process. Now that his leg has fully healed, Maxwell has the option to undergo surgery to remove the pins. However, this procedure and the subsequent recovery period would require approximately six weeks of his time. Given the upcoming cricket season, which features both an ODI World Cup in India and a T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and the United States, the 34-year-old Maxwell cannot afford to be sidelined for such an extended period.
