IG and HY closed today within a few bps of their opening (low/tight) levels of last Thursday as HY reached back above $89 by the end of the week. Interestingly, given the headlines, we saw CMBS prices drop and ABX (RMBS) prices rise on the week as CRE losses are on the tip of everyone's tongues as is a residential housing bottom (not!). IG and HY intrinsics both underperformed as the indices saw tecahnicals at play as well as equities weighing positively and negatively on them every day. HVOL was a smidge wider as was[More...]
