Commercial Paper In The Unfrozen North

A friend going by the name AeroFool pinged me with the following Email this morning:

Perimeter started their online bidding marketplace for Canadian ABCP which has been locked up. There haven't been any transactions yet, but you can see what bids are on the dollar - currently .50-.60 on the dollar, so this provides a nice window of insight into what's happening in this particular market that we would not otherwise have any visibility into.

As you can see pricing data is only starting to trickle in. The above is only a partial table but those are the only current bids.

The Canadian ABCP market was a $40 billion market. Judging from the preliminary results, it is perhaps now a $20+- billion market. For more on who is affected and how, see Global Credit Crisis Canadian Style and Minyan Mailbag: Money Frozen In Yukon.
