Summary: UBS Buys CS
Good Morning,
Pls find today a short version of the Morning Brew from the road due to extraordinary circumstances.
Yesterday it was announced that Credit Suisse will be taken over by UBS for app CHF 3 Bio. In addition, certain bonds will be worthless and UBS will receive loss guarantees plus liquidity by the SNB.
So far the market reaction is muted and the move fails to inspire the confidence hoped for but there is so far also no major averse reaction in broader terms – Asian Banks are trading under pressure.
There will severe implications on the Suisse Banking from this decision and it is not yet clear if the overall focus will be positive for the rescue or largely negative that is was necessary.
The Corporate Bond market will be nervous after the value of the Credit Suisse's Additional Tier 1 will be written down acc to Reuters.
It is expected that Credit Suisse Investment Banking will be gradually wound down but details are lacking and there seem to be many rumors and contradicting articles so be careful with news.
Xi Xinping is visiting Moscow to hold talks on the war in Ukraine.
Remain on your toes today and expect large market moves this week with more details coming out.
