Credit market snapshot: tighter last week on more bullish sentiment

Monday, January 23, 2012

Credit moved tighter across the board last week, with market sentiment more bullish. A flood of new primary issuance also showed the appetite of investors for new bond issues, and proved a fillip for market sentiment overall. Market nerves have returned somewhat in Europe this morning, however, with uncertainty over the Greek debt talks seeing Crossover 4 basis points wider, Main 1bp wider, and SovX 2bp wider.
