The cost of insuring exposure to debt issued by Credit Suisse dropped on Friday after the Swiss lender said it would buy back up to 3 billion Swiss francs ($3 billion) of debt, Trend reports with reference to Reuters.
Credit Suisse's five-year credit default swaps (CDS) fell 42 basis points from Thursday's close to 308 bps, data from S&P Global Market Intelligence showed.
