[Apple Returns to Bond Market After Over a Year, Plans to Issue Seven-Part Dollar Bonds] Odaily Planet Daily reports that Apple has announced its return to the investment-grade bond market after more than a year's hiatus, joining the recent wave of bond issuances by major US tech companies. According to sources familiar with the matter, the iPhone maker is issuing seven tranches of bonds with maturities ranging from 2 to 10 years. The source added that the initial price guidance spread for the longest-term bond is 0.8 percentage points higher than US Treasury bonds.
