Peripheral Pressures Take SovX West Europe CDS Index To New High
LONDON (Dow Jones)--The cost of credit default swaps written on a basket of 15 developed European sovereign borrowers hit a new all-time high Friday, driven by more weakness in peripheral euro-zone sovereign CDS.
The Markit iTraxx SovX Western Europe index rose 6.5 basis points to 172 basis points, Markit said.
Irish five-year sovereign CDS were 28 basis points higher at 610 basis points, having briefly touched 600 basis points Thursday.
Portuguese five-year CDS rose 12 basis points to 455 basis points, Greece five-year protection was nine basis points higher at 870 basis points, and Spain rose 11 basis points to 246 basis points, figures from Markit showed.
CDS are tradable, over-the-counter derivatives that function like a default insurance contract for debt. If a borrower defaults, the protection buyer is paid compensation by the protection seller.
Swap buyers may be protecting investments, or making bearish bets against borrowers.
