Hi Tyler, looks like BARC did well on today's auction but with Citi average bid so low you have to wonder about capital. 5Y C is now 405/415! widest aside from late Nov spike. Strange SSCC auction with Final better than IMM for first time in the last nine auctions...
MBIA Opco had some wild swings today - someone was unwinding their CDO hedges...any thoughts on these bank spreads? USA sovereigns holding at 90mid...
