Broader market developments on Wednesday:
** The FTSE extends gains (ca +0.5%), pushing over the 7.1k mark to significantly outperform peers, as UK markets return from the Christmas holiday. Index buoyed by mining stocks
** Otherwise, European equities were biased weaker. FTSE MIB forms the weakest link.
** That follows Tuesday's report that BMPS will require EUR8.8bn to adequately boost its balance sheet, notably more than the EUR5bn previously sought, raising speculation that the EUR20bn pledged by the Italian govt may not be enough to shore up the country's banking system
** US equities were weighed by weaker than expected pending home sales (-2.5% m/m vs +0.5% f/c & +0.1% prev)
** Bunds fell into negative territory having flirted with parity for most of the session, while Gilts pulled ahead, but struggled to make any meaningful progress past the 125.00 psych mark
** Oil bulls remained in the driving seat, albeit marginally in seasonally thin liquidity
** iTraxx Main and Crossover widen to their widest levels in just over a week
