Moody’s reported that the global speculative-grade default rate stood at 2.4% in February, down from 2.6% (revised up) in January, according to its own release. Moody's is forecasting a default rate of 2.1% for December 2014. The historical average for the default rate on speculative-grade debt has been approximately 4.7% since 1983. The U.S. speculative-grade default rate stood at 1.6% in February, down from 1.9% (revised up) in January. The default rate on senior loans stood at 1.16% in February, down slightly from 1.17% in January, according to Standard & Poor's LCD. Leveraged loan portfolio managers expect the default rate to be in the vicinity of 2.0% by the end of 2014 and 2.5% around the close of 2015, remaining below the historical average of around 3.2%.
