An exchange traded debt sell off?

According to Quantomonline, there are 119 debt securities that are listed on the stock exchanges. I have put their ticker symbols below.

It seems as if there was a sell-off in the exchange traded debt of various securities yesterday, starting sometime around 10 am. AIG, Comcast, CBS, ING, AT&T - financial/non-financial debt all sold off. Someone must be liquidiating.

Now I know inflation is heating up and all these long duration bonds are most sensitive to interest rate changes. But how can one explain that AFE - AIG's senior unsecured debentures maturing in 2034 - are yielding 12%, while its 6-1/4 senior unsecured bonds maturing in 2036 are yielding 7.2%. Even its 2067 bonds are yielding 8.7%. Or for that matter - CCS, CCT and CCW - all Comcast unsecured bonds maturing somewhere around 2055 have different yields. CCS is yielding 8.7% and CCT and CCW are yielding 8.3%, while its 2038 bonds are yielding 7%.

Here is the list to make the portfolio on yahoo or google finance.
