Ford bonds see selling as they are no longer eligible to be included in high-yield bond funds

S&P Global Ratings upgraded Ford Motor Co.’s rating to BBB- late Monday, restoring it to investment grade after it was lowered into junk in 2020.

S&P also highlighted the company’s cash balance of about $29 billion as of Sept. 30, overall liquidity of about $51 billion, and said that gives it ample leeway to compete in its end markets. The agreement would increase top wages at Ford by more than 30% to more than $40 an hour and push up starting wages by 68% to over $28 an hour once cost-of-living adjustments are factored in, the union said last week. The deal ended a strike and sent Ford workers back to their jobs.

Trading over the last 10 days has been mixed, apart from the 7.32% notes that nature in 2030, which have been heavily sold.
