A record number of blue-chip firms are swarming the corporate bond market Tuesday morning, taking advantage of cheaper borrowing costs as they look to issue debt ahead of the US presidential election.

Kurt Reiman, head of Fixed Income Americas at UBS Global Wealth Management, joins BNN Bloomberg to discuss the outlook for bonds amid rate cut bets.

-- Ford Motor Credit Co. and Fifth Third Bancorp are among 29 companies tapping the bond market, the busiest single sales day for the market on record, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

The average spread on US high-grade firms traded at 93 basis points Friday, the lowest since July 31. Average all-in yields have fallen below 5%, making borrowing more attractive.
