LONDON (Reuters) - The cost of insuring the bonds of Swiss bank Credit Suisse fell sharply on Tuesday from the previous day's close, in line with a recovery in the company's shares, as some concerns around the bank subsided.

Credit Suisse's five-year credit default swaps fell around 13 basis points to 308.32 bps from Monday's closing level of 321.10 bps, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.

The Swiss lender's shares hit record lows last month and its bonds tumbled as doubts have mounted about the strength of the company.

The cost of insuring against a Credit Suisse debt default soared as high as 355 bps on Monday, up from 57 bps at the start of the year, according to S&P Global data.

The bank's shares and bonds rose on Tuesday, in line with a recovery in risk appetite across global markets. Shares were last up 5.51% but were still down more than 50% for the year.

The car will complement Denza's N7 and N8 SUVs and D9 multipurpose vehicle, whose surging sales have contributed to BYD's EV domination at the expense of legacy foreign automakers.

  • ‘Stop arming Israel’ Passover protest in Brooklyn harkens back to 1969 Freedom Seder

    Gathered around a banner emblazoned with the words “stop arming Israel,” thousands of protesters joined with Jewish-led peace groups in Brooklyn, New York, on Tuesday evening to attend a Passover protest that recalls the "Freedom Seder" held in the tumultuous year of 1969. Organizers said they drew inspiration for Tuesday’s demonstration from ties forged between Jewish organizers and African-American civil rights activists to create a multiracial interfaith “Freedom Seder” on the first anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr's 1968 assassination as the Vietnam War raged. The Seder is a Passover celebration and ceremony that commemorates the story of Exodus - Moses leading enslaved Jews out of Egypt.
