By Cristal Cody

Tupelo, Miss., Aug. 20 – Investment-grade deal volume on Tuesday included $1 billion of three-year senior notes from Bank of New York Mellon Corp.

The session also saw a $600 million offering of notes due 2030 from ERP Operating LP print.

In other deal action, the Development Bank of Japan offered $1.8 billion of five- and 10-year notes.
