Summary
Allianz CIO Ludovic Subran warns that SpaceX's $25bn bond sale, coming shortly after its record-breaking $86bn IPO, signals markets are entering 'bubble territory'. The warning reflects broader investor nervousness that the rush of companies raising debt and equity at record-high stock prices and tight credit spreads could indicate a market top. Subran notes that debt investors will scrutinize SpaceX more closely than equity markets did.
