Fed delay could spur more debt issues to fund share buybacks
19 Mins Ago

A record year for debt-funded stock buybacks may soon become even more rewarding for shareholders.

The Federal Reserve's decision to delay raising interest rates for the first time since the 2008 financial crisis will likely encourage companies to take out more debt to repurchase their own shares or issue special dividends before the end of the year, adding to the almost $1 trillion that companies were already on pace to return to investors this year, fund managers and analysts say.

That's because, with historically low interest rates now likely to extend to at least December, companies are "now in a sort of borrowing nirvana," said a bond strategist, who asked not to be quoted by name because he recently left one firm and has not yet officially started at his new position.

Hi all,

Oil futures fell sharply on Wednesday after initially extending gains as government data showed a second consecutive weekly fall in U.S. crude oil inventories.

However, a build in gasoline inventories following the end of the U.S. summer driving season and falling refinery runs at the start of maintenance period offset the crude drawdown, John Kilduff, founding partner at Again Capital told CNBC.

Gasoline demand was "the only thing keeping us alive there for the summer in terms of prices holding up," Kilduff said.

"The downward press just keeps reemerging."
