  • The CDS Anti-Matter Bubble [View article]
    Alex Trias - - -

    One important factor you fail to mention in the rapid rise in CDS prices is the reluctance of new writers (issuers of CDS). If the supply diminishes with a rise (or even no change) in demand, the price rises. When isssuing and selling a CDS was considered a low risk action, there was plentiful supply. When a major issuer goes belly-up (Lehman) the supply of new instruments dries up (risk recognition).
