The BLOM Bond Index (BBI) went down on Friday by 0.02%, to 105.69 points. This drop took place despite the improvement of demand for short-term Lebanese Eurobonds which was offset by the fall in demand for medium and long term maturities. The Yields on the 5Y and 10Y Lebanese Eurobonds added 1 basis point (bp) and 2 bps to 5.64% and 6.41%, respectively. On the other hand, higher demand for medium-term US notes broadened the 5Y spread between Lebanese Eurobonds and their US counterpart by 3 bps to 417 bps. As for the Lebanese 5Y Credit Default Swaps (CDS), they broadened from 383-408 bps to 388-413 bps.
