Spanish bonds' ECB haircut now hinges once and for all on DBRS

From 14 June 2012

The guys at Moody’s were behind their peers’ curve anyway (see 11 Jun post “Unfinished Sympathy”), but have now taken the lead by putting the Kingdom right away on junk outlook. ECB Haircut increase from 4 to 9 % in 10 YRS and probably worse from 1.5 to 6.5% in LTRO-laden 3 YRS paper (ECB link p.73) is thus now hinging on DBRS’ views (Eurosystem credit assessment framework ECAF link).

Huh? Wha?

[AVFMS]

It's solely the DBRS rating that keeps ECB haircuts at the lower level

Dominion Bond Rating Service?

Yes, the Canadian rating agency. They're the ones on whose shoulders the LTRO's holding haircuts depend
