[QUOTE="Klaus, post: 16895040, member: 190070"] CDS refers to a Credit Default Swap. It is effectively an insurance contract on the bonds of an issuer. The way it works is you pay a premium to the seller and then settle up for the difference. You can also trade CDS like stocks. If the reference entity (in this case Deutsche) is experiencing credit distress its CDS will widen out. That is what the graph is illustrating. It is how you short bonds. The CDS market is huge but it is for big boys only. You need an ISDA to trade which means you need a huge balance sheets so it is kimited to institutional jnvestors. Retail schmucks not allowed.
