iTraxx indices will roll on Monday

Headlines from the credit market this week

CDS spreads are largely unchanged from last week. The investment grade CDS index, iTraxx Europe currently trades at 86bp and the high yield index, iTraxx Crossover, at 530bp. Following some confusion two weeks ago regarding a missed call by Santander of a LT2 bond, the bank has announced it will call the bond at its next call date (December). Apparently, the missed call was due to an administrative error as Santander claimed at the time.

The primary market remained busy this week. In the Nordic region Nordea made a USD Tier 1 issue and SEB a 3Y senior issue. Also significantly, the increasing number of nonrated companies now approaching the market demonstrates current favourable primary market conditions.
