Briefing Fri July 18 Citi (C) up big this morning because earnings weren't AS BAD AS consensus. However large writedowns ($5B) continued. And prospects for continued losses remain.. Financial Times reports a benchmark auction of distressed debt assets has given investors a gloomy guide to the prospects of recovering cash from the troubled structured investment vehicles that have been at the heart of the credit crunch. The assets auctioned from a $7 bln SIV formerly known as Cheyne Finance this week drew bids that would pay only 44 cents in the dollar if investors opted for a cash exit from the vehicle, it was revealed on Thursday. In spite of the low prices at the auction, more creditors in Cheyne Finance are expected to opt for the cash payout than indicated interest before the auction, illustrating that it is a better result than initially expected. Creditors in SIV Portfolio have been struggling for nearly a year to recover their investments.
