La Caixa RWN should not affect its Cedulas

Fitch and Moody’s placed La Caixa (A+/A2) on negative review last Friday. The rating comes despite a 45bp rally in its senior unsecured CDS at the time it reported results, and ahead of a rumoured five year cédulas issue. Despite the seemingly negative repercussions the prospective deal would remain triple A, even if a downgrade followed.
