Apple poised to join busy Aussie bond market
Sydney
APPLE Inc is ready to join a swathe of domestic and offshore companies fuelling Australia's busiest corporate bond market in three years.
Non-financial issuers including miner BHP Billiton Ltd and supermarket owner Wesfarmers Ltd have sold A$6.6 billion (S$6.8 billion) of bonds in Australia so far this year - the most for any comparable period since 2012, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Brewing giant SABMiller Plc raised A$700 million with its debut sale last month and iPhone maker Apple has been talking with investors this week.
