Credit institutional intelligence, quantitative benchmarks, primary regulatory filings, and market structure analysis from Institutional Ledger. France avoided a downgrade in the account MUFG published on Monday. The basis-point gap to Germany is still a research-note figure until a closing print is cited as one.

Key Institutional Takeaways — Credit

  • MUFG said Moody’s left France at Aa3, one notch above S&P and Fitch, citing the economy and the institutions, and also the debt and a divided parliament.
  • Saxo’s 26 October note said the 10-year France-Germany spread ended Friday about 7 basis points tighter, at 167 basis points. That is Saxo’s figure.
  • The ECB’s policy meeting is Thursday, in MUFG’s calendar. MUFG does not expect a bond-market backstop to be announced there.

Frequently Asked Questions — Credit

Did Moody’s upgrade France?

No. MUFG said the rating was left unchanged at Aa3. Unchanged is the whole news. CNBC described it as France being spared a downgrade.

Is 167 basis points the official France-Germany close?

It is the figure in Saxo’s Monday note. This ledger does not have a sovereign settlement file. Write it as Saxo’s Friday reading.

Will the ECB buy French bonds on Thursday?

MUFG said it was too soon to expect the ECB to announce measures to support government bond markets at this meeting. That is a research view, not an ECB statement.
