(Bloomberg) -- The risk of owning U.S. and European
corporate bonds rose today after indexes of securities linked to
U.S. subprime mortgages slumped to a record low, according to
traders of credit-default swaps.
Contracts based on 10 million euros ($13 million) of debt
included in the iTraxx Crossover Index of 50 European companies
jumped 20,500 euros to 288,000 euros at 5:15 p.m. in London,
according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. The CDX North America
Investment-Grade Index of 125 companies rose $2,000 to an offered
price of $46,000 at 11:40 a.m. in New York, Deutsche Bank AG
prices show. An increase in the indexes suggests deterioration in
the perception of credit quality.
