S. Korea's CDS premium dropping amid easing U.S.-North Korea tensions
- 6 years ago
South Korea's credit default swap premium has reached its lowest rate in 17 months due to easing U.S.-North Korea tensions.
Financial information provider Markit says the CDS premium for South Korean foreign exchange stabilization bonds with a five-year maturity... ended 41-point-six-eight basis points Monday,… two-point-four-six points lower than the previous day.
That lower number reflects a smaller expected risk of a bond default.
Experts say it's most likely a result of U.S. President Donald Trump agreeing to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un by May.
