Basic question, but when will a CDS trigger? Does it have to be a 100% default on a certain obligation, or can it be triggered before?
The world hasn’t really experienced this since CDS became popular. So, if they can successfully negotiate a hair cut without triggering CDS how many institutions are going to start dumping their bond exposure to Portugal, Ireland, Spain, Italy etc, knowing their CDS aren’t any good? I suppose they probably already know, but just a thought.
