What moved on the register

Yorkshire & North East stood out on the credit side: of 119 companies newly leaning toward secured debt, the region's 16 took 1.7 times the share it held of the day's re-ratings overall, and specialised construction tilted the same way at 1.5x, though on only six companies. The sale side cooled sharply, with 68 companies leaning toward exit against 178 the day before, and its one sector skew, IT & software services at 1.9x, rests on just six companies, so it is a hint rather than a call. Re-ratings overall rose to 1,110 from 952, yet both directional groups shrank, so a busier day produced a thinner signal.
