just in in-tray

A Chinese miner walked into the HK cigar shop y’day and put down about US$64,100 for a box of pre-revolutionary cigars. The box was H Upmann with Dunhill distributor label. Upon purchase, he immediately opened the box and smoked a stick (about US$2,560). Life is still good with the Chinese miners.

"only Brazil is still standing". Brazil paying smaller premium than companies and countries with higher risk rate.

Brazil (Ba1) paying 370 points

Transcanada Pipelines (Moddy's A3 and three steps above by S&P (A-) paying 460 points

Mexico that has a higher ranking paying 390 points

Colombia which has same risk rate as Brazil patyng 502,9 points

Brazilian paper went higher as soon as they were issued risk; premum went down to 365. That the same day US paper went down 0,011% and Wall Street went down 2,72%.

Only Brazil, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan?

I think some economists call those the BAK nations.
