GSE Credit Default Update
Tony Crescenzi
7/11/08 9:12 AM EDT

Bloomberg is reporting that the cost of protecting against default against Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac's (FRE) debt has fallen today, but 12 basis points to 65 basis points.

The drop relates to talk of a U.S. bailout of the GSEs. Interestingly, insurance against Treasuries has increased 4 basis points to 18 basis points, reflecting the strain that a bailout would put in the U.S. You want fear? There's none bigger than fear against a U.S. default.
