Demand for Lebanese Eurobonds dropped on Wednesday causing the BLOM Bond Index (BBI) to decline by 0.26% to 102.67 points, broadening its year-to-date loss to 4.46%. Yields on the 5Y and 10Y Lebanese Eurobonds increased by 12 basis points (bps) and 3 bps to 6.54% and 6.90%, respectively. As demand for medium term maturities in the U.S. declined at a slower pace than that of its Lebanese counterpart, the 5Y yield spread between both maturities broadened by 9 bps to 485bps. As for the Lebanese 5Y Credit Default Swaps (CDS), they narrowed from their previous quotes of 408-433 bps to 401-423 bps.
