CVS Headlines $18 Billion High-Grade Bond Blitz Before CPI

CVS Health Corp. and a unit of Chevron Corp. are among 14 firms raising $17.65 billion of US investment-grade bonds Monday, the most deals in three months, as issuers rush to market ahead of this week’s anticipated consumer-price data.

The deals follow $40.4 billion of high-grade issuance last week, that saw the highest volume since May, as average yields for investment-grade corporates reached their lowest level of 2025 and premiums are near their tightest in a quarter-century. Selling debt now avoids potential interest-rate volatility following Tuesday’s consumer-price report.
