UBS may have just imploded:

“UBS Group AG is a multinational investment bank and financial services company founded and based in Switzerland. Co-headquartered in the cities of Zürich and Basel, it maintains a presence in all major financial centers as the largest Swiss banking institution and the largest private bank in the world.

Yesterday, UBS appears to have FAILED-TO-DELIVER on Bonds that were due.

According to rapidly-spreading reports, not only has UBS Failed-to-Deliver on Bonds, but The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) reportedly took action to COVER-UP the UBS Failure-to-Deliver; DTCC allegedly *** D E L E T E D *** the CUSIP Numbers for those bonds, so as a matter of record, those bonds "no longer exist." Apparently, they're simply "gone."”

hmm!!

is it anything to do with Credit Suisse, are they old CS bonds that now have a new UBS related CUSIP number?

That’s a great theory. I can’t confirm as I don’t have access to a Bloomberg terminal…. UBS stock hasn’t shown much reaction, so I’m doubting this storyline atm.

Things don’t always go as planned around US holidays. DTCC deleting an active cusip would garner uproar from major custodians, not just the general public, time will tell on that. One single misfire in sending a stock or bond or wire is just a clerical error, but can cause a cascading effect which can take days to correct. If they are really insolvent, I don’t think dtcc would conplicitly delete their identifier, unless under significant duress.
