Bloomberg reported the leveraged loan market in the U.S. is showing signs of revival after the weakest August for issuance since 2011.

Bloomberg said at least four companies are expected to meet with lenders this week for loans backing acquisitions.

Bloomberg noted that while loan issuance typically slows down in late summer, this year many borrowers chose not to start syndicating their deals as news of a slowdown in China roiled markets worldwide.

The number of companies to begin marketing term loans plunged 65% last month to 22, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
