Commercial paper volumes tumble
Drop may reflect issuers' use of other credit markets, says one analyst
By Laura Mandaro, MarketWatch

Last update: 2:37 p.m. EST Jan. 29, SAN FRANCISCO
(MarketWatch) -- Outstanding commercial paper fell the most ever this week, Federal Reserve data showed Thursday, but the decline likely reflected companies' ability to issue other types of debt rather than a fresh bout of investor panic.

Outstanding commercial paper fell $98.8 billion in the week ended Jan. 28, to $1.59 trillion. That was the largest weekly decrease since the Fed started tracking volumes of this short-term corporate debt in 2001. Levels haven't been this low since the last week of October.
