High volatility expected

Monthly dividend distributions are routine and already priced into the fund's NAV. The broader market selloff (-1.15% S&P 500, VIX +7.34%) is the dominant driver; high-yield spreads typically widen in risk-off environments, pressuring HYLD more than the dividend supports it.
