Short-term corporate borrowing just spiked hard. U.S. commercial paper outstanding jumped $125.9 billion during the week ending January 7—the seasonally adjusted figures show this wasn't just noise. When corporations suddenly need to borrow more on short timelines, it usually means either they're preparing for something or cash flow is tightening. Worth watching for what this signals about corporate liquidity heading into the year.

The company's short-term financing suddenly surged. This signal isn't very good; either a major move is coming or cash flow is tight. Keep an eye on it.
