US corporate bankruptcy filings rose again in December 2023, closing out a year with the most filings since 2010.<ref>https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights/latest-news-headlines/us-bankruptcies-hit-13-year-peak-in-2023-50-new-filings-in-december-79967180#:~:text=9%20Jan%2C%202024-,US%20bankruptcies%20hit%2013%2Dyear%20peak%20in%202023,50%20new%20filings%20in%20December&text=US%20corporate%20bankruptcy%20filings%20rose,bankruptcy%20filings%20in%20the%20month.</ref>
 
S&P Global Market Intelligence recorded 50 bankruptcy filings in the month. The total was up from a revised 33 recorded in November, but roughly in line with the monthly average of just under 54 bankruptcies for 2023.
 
There were 642 total filings in 2023, significantly above the previous two years and marginally more than in 2020, which saw a flurry of COVID-19 pandemic-related filings. Although investors expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates as early as March, companies will still have to contend with relatively high interest rates and robust wage growth in the near term.
