Two year spreads were about 80.5bp.

  • SKANDINAVISKA Enskilda Banken returned to the asset backed market this week after an absence of five years, with a Eu1bn securitisation of Swedish residential mortgages, jointly lead managed by Goldman Sachs and SEB Debt Capital Markets.

  • BANKERS connected to the forthcoming float of Sky Global Networks on the NYSE were dismissive of initial valuations of the firm and the size of the offer, which is expected after the summer.

Yesterday (Thursday), one banker connected to the deal scoffed at suggestions that the fundraising this autumn could raise up to $8bn.
