US HIGH YIELD-American Cellular cancels $425 mln junk bond sale reuters.com NEW YORK, March 7 (Reuters) - Rising interest rates in the U.S. junk bond market have prompted a unit of Dobson Communications Corp. (DCEL.O: Quote, Profile, Research) to scrap a $425 million bond sale, the latest sign that demand for the riskiest bonds is beginning to cool. Dobson's American Cellular Corp. said volatility in the bond markets had made pricing unattractive and it would seek financing in the loan market instead. The company was raising cash to pay for a tender offer to repurchase older notes, it said in a statement late on Tuesday. The cancellation followed a sell-off in global equities last week that caused a sharp downturn in appetite for the riskiest bonds. The planned bonds carried highly speculative "triple-C" ratings from Standard & Poor's, one of the lowest possible rating categories.
