Credit market snapshot: rally continues amid thin trading

Tuesday, October 11, 2011

Credit spreads in Europe and Asia continued to rally strongly yesterday. With the US credit market closed, volumes were light across most credit products. European financials tightened relatively more than sovereigns. High yield credit also outperformed, with the iTraxx Crossover index touching a low of 766 – a level it has not seen for more than three weeks. The rally is continuing tentatively in Europe this morning.
