US CORP BONDS-Market stronger, new debt sales continue
Reuters: [2008-05-15 22:57:00]
NEW YORK, May 15 (Reuters) - The U.S. corporate credit
markets rallied on Thursday, while companies including HBOS Plc
<HBOS.L> and NiSource Finance Corp tapped the new issue
market.
The benchmark investment grade credit derivative index
tightened around 5.5 basis points to 90 basis points, its
tightest level in more than a week.
The rally was in line with a higher stock market, which was
buoyed by a pullback in crude oil. Healthy demand for new bond
issues also supported the market.
"There are a lot of new deals out there," said Mirko
Mikelic, senior portfolio manager at Fifth Third Asset
Management in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
New debt sales have been pricing more favorably than in
previous months, indicating better demand for new debt, he
said. "A lot of people are putting cash to work, the cash
market has moderately improved,"
HBOS, Britain's biggest mortgage lender, on Thursday sold
$2.0 billion in debt in the 144a private placement market, said
market sources.
NiSource Finance, a unit of electric utility NiSource Inc
<NI.N>, also sold $700 million in debt.
In the high yield market, Oklahoma City-based oil and
natural gas company SandRidge Energy Inc <SD.N> sold $750
million of 10-year senior notes in the 144a private placement
market. The size of the deal was increased from the originally
planned $500 million.
Financials dominated secondary trading with JPMorgan Chase
& Co's <JPM.N> 7.9 percent bond due 2018 the most actively
traded, according to MarketAxess.
Residential Capital's 8.375 percent bond due 2010 slipped
in jumpy trade. ResCap is offering to exchange the debt for new
bonds with a later maturity. The deadline for the offer will
expire on Friday.
The bond fell to 49 cents on the dollar, from 49.5 cents at
Wednesday's close, according to MarketAxess.

EURO CORP-Credit spreads tighten, DSGi CDS wider
Reuters: [2008-05-15 17:42:00]
By Natalie Harrison
LONDON, May 15 (Reuters) - The cost of insuring retailer DSG International's debt against default rose on Thursday on disappointment over its turnaround plans, while broader credit spreads edged tighter in thin newsflow.
Five-year credit default swaps on DSGi <DSGI.L> widened by 5 basis points to 335 basis points, a trader said, and was the main standout in the retail sector which was broadly tighter in line with with the rest of the market.
DSGi shares also fell more than 10 percent as analysts warned that efforts by the company -- Europe's biggest specialist electricals retailer -- to cut costs and lower its dividend would not be enough to bolster the group's fortunes [ID:nL1575275].
DSG is currently rated Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service and BBB- by Fitch Ratings, both the lowest notch of investment grade ratings.
"There was no silver bullet in the review, with a turnaround likely to take some time," said Rob Orman, a credit analyst at RBS.
"I think there is a strong chance that at least one agency will cut them to junk in the next couple of weeks."
The cost of insuring Tesco debt against default was resilient however, despite a report from Moody's which said it may cut the UK supermarket's group A1 rating. The rating action cited concerns about Tesco's "weaker than expected credit metrics" and its planned acquisition of 36 discount stores from South Korea's E-Land, announced on Wednesday, Moody's said.
Tesco five-year CDS were 2 basis points tighter at 28 basis points, the trader said.
INFLATION WORRIES
In the wider credit market, the Markit iTraxx Crossover index <ITCRS5EA=GFI>, made up of 50 mostly "junk"-rated credits, was at 419.5 basis points by 1512 GMT, according to data from Markit, 8.5 basis points tighter versus late on Wednesday.
The investment-grade Markit iTraxx Europe index <ITRAC5EA=GFI> was at 69.5 basis points, 2.5 basis points tighter.
Geraud Charpin, a credit strategist at UBS, said there was little news driving credit derivative indexes tighter.
"If nothing much is happening, we tend to grind tighter in credit. We're still seeing a trickle of short covering and there is no big negative news, so there is no momentum for people to reset shorts," Charpin said.
U.S. data on Thursday showed softer-than-expected U.S. industrial output for April, which followed a weak manufacturing report from the New York Federal Reserve. Jobless claims also rose slightly more than expected in the latest week.
In Europe, the economic position is still somewhat brighter, however, as strong business investment helped drive German growth. But there are clouds on the horizon, notably weak consumer demand as soaring commodity prices push up the cost of fuel, food and other essentials.
Data earlier this week also showed a shock jump in UK inflation. The Bank of England revised up its inflation forecasts, suggesting there was little scope for further rate cuts, despite predictions of sharply slowing growth or even a recession.
"The inflationary pressures we are seeing make it harder for both the U.S. and Europe to fight against slumping growth. That fear is delaying the economic recovery so it should be seen as a negative," said Charpin.
