US corporate defaults nearly double



More missed payments by US corporations helped to nearly double the total amount of global corporate defaults this year amid signs of an economic slowdown and higher market volatility.

Global defaults have risen to 39 so far this year versus 21 in the same period a year ago with plastics maker Kloeckner Holdings and media company Central European Media Enterprises the latest to default, according to Standard & Poor’s.
