Structured Credit Survives Auto Downgrades

The downgrade of U.S. autos in May triggered days of panic and structured credit pricing dislocation, but the credit market absorbed the subsequent correlation crisis, said a panel of credit derivative executives.

The downgrade of U.S. autos in May triggered days of panic and structured credit pricing dislocation, but the credit market absorbed the subsequent correlation crisis, said a panel of credit derivative executives. "The market passed the test when it came under stressed liquidity," noted Pierre Mathieu, European head of credit flow trading at BNP Paribas.
