where to get CDX or ITraxx price quote?

January 25th, 2005, 9:54 am

I am working on a class project that need to fit the standardized credit index data. I am wondering where can I find the standard CDX and/or ITraxx trading prices. Are those trading prices available on bloomburg? What is the symbol to look them up on bloomburg? Any pointers or documents on how to get these credit index data are greatly appreciated,

It's not real time unless you subscribe but www.markit.com is good for free historical data.

thanks all for replying. However, I checked a few of the sources, it seems they only quote a single composite spread for ITraxx. Anyone know how/where to get the data for the standardized tranche spread for ITraxx or CDX ? I am interested to calculate the base correlation from spreads,thanks

to calc base correlations, you're gonna need the Index level the tranche was priced against...so close of biz levels won't do you any good if the tranche was priced against the open. I'd think the best place to go for this data is one of the banks that actively trade index tranches...they might help you if you're a student. oh...it's BloomBERG, not burg.
