Fortress Favors Hu Over Sarkozy in Swaps
By Kyoungwha Kim and Lilian Karunungan - Nov 1, 2011

French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s decision to turn to China last week to help bolster European finances comes as traders of credit-default swaps step up bets that the Asian nation has less risky debt than his country.

Five-year contracts protecting China’s bonds from non-payment tumbled 70 basis points in October to 129, the biggest monthly drop since March 2009, CMA prices show. Contracts for France slid 11 basis points to 176. Don Hanna, a managing director at New York-based hedge fund Fortress Investment Group LLC, says he favors selling protection on China and buying insurance on France.
