Meanwhile In European Sovereign Default Risk...

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/30/2011 07:48 -0400

While all eyes this morning are on Chinese CDS (with about an 18 month delay: about par for a centrally planned market), which has finally blown out, the shifting of attention has done nothing to fix the situation in Europe, where CDS is once again wider across the board.

Don't know about Rumor but here is some good Humor.

Spain says it's financial sector is all fixed now. Really, they spent 10 Billion Euros and now, all is well.

http://news.yahoo.com/spain-nationalizes-3-banks-cash-injections-111202049.html

From the article: " says the process of restructuring its financial sector is now complete."

Why is Greece at the 60ish level? I would have thought they'd be around 1000+ like Portugal.

Did they have some kind of miraculous recovery or is it that no one will sell CDS on Greek sovereign bonds?

Fri, 09/30/2011 - 11:26 | 1725918 JLee2027

Greece is 5500 on Bloomberg. Press the 1W - 1 Week graph...the main quote is no longer updated.

Thank you very much, Lee.

Seems that Greek CDS rate is falling, so everything must be fixed now; joyous news!

j/k :)

No news about this on CNBC. Mustn't be important.

Fri, 09/30/2011 - 07:54 | 1725232 maxmad

Yep, I always turn to CNBS for truthful reporting!

BTW, CNBC has now banned all naked short selling on their Million dollar portfolio challenge, bitchez!

Fri, 09/30/2011 - 08:01 | 1725254 maxmad

When asked about the naked short selling ban, Steve LIESman, asked "how can you sell something you dont already own?"

Fri, 09/30/2011 - 07:53 | 1725226 maxmad

wold default, bitchez!

but do u really believe in CDS predicitng anything? Look at Greece and how CDS has no impact

Fri, 09/30/2011 - 07:57 | 1725240 ZeroPower

Moreso of a predictor than bond px, since CDS market is much smaller and thus cant be manipulated (yet) by CBs.

Case in point: ITA was paying, on average, about 4.9% for its debt throughout the last decade. And today its 10yr is still under 6%. Meanwhile in CDS land..

Does anyone still buy bonds?

Fri, 09/30/2011 - 08:10 | 1725278 Esso

What is this bond thingy you speak of?

Fri, 09/30/2011 - 08:26 | 1725312 HoofHearted

The Bernank...and he has plenty of digital money to buy ALL of them. (OK, Central bankers everywhere join in this party, too. I'll loan you $100B if you'll loan me $100B. It's the monetary equivalent of a reacharound.)

The world economy is going into recession, there are a lot of crisis hot spots out there, and hardly anybody is long duration. I wouldn't be surprised to see, over the next months, even lower yields in government bonds that are generally perceived as safe havens (though medium- to long-term they aren't safe at all for sure). There was never an instance were bond yields have bottomed out before a recession has even started. If you have a fixed income portfolio and have to choose a duration positioning: be long duration.

Can someone explain me why the hell Germany CDS are higher than the UK CDS? Insanity I tell ya.

Fri, 09/30/2011 - 09:03 | 1725420 Mister Ponzi

Because the UK is no member of the Eurozone and has only a limited contribution in bailing out Southern Europe (mainly via IMF contributions) while current proposals suggest huge financial burdens for German taxpayers in the near future. Otherwise, your assessment of the relative credit risk of Germany vs. UK would definitely be correct.

TD, what happened to the nicknames for the Euro CDS crap?

Fri, 09/30/2011 - 09:52 | 1725586 DutchDude
