Greece see off the IMF among volatility - Danske
FXStreet (Guatemala) - Danske Research Team explained a number of their market observations.
Key Quotes:
"Overall credit markets remained volatile last week as negotiations between Greece and its creditors turned south, which subsequently saw IMF pull out of negotiations. Both Itraxx main and crossover widened as a result adding about 5bp and 17bp respectively. It seems unlikely that a solution with Greece will be reached next week, hence we expect market jitters to continue for now."
"After a recent spread widening the iTraxx main is now at a higher level (+74bp) than in the beginning of the year (+62bp). The lowest level YTD was 50bp in the beginning of March. iTraxx crossover (now trading at +329bp) however, still has a way to go before reaching the level at the beginning of the year (+346bp)."
"As a result of the market volatility some issuers probably chose to postpone printing, which was reflected in a very dull primary market adding a mere EUR1.25bn in corporate EUR issuance divided between two entities. We expect this to be a low point as more issuers will most likely try to get their prints done before the summer lull starts in a few weeks."
"Secondary market liquidity remains poor with few buyers wanting to dip their toes in the water despite juicier spreads."
