(Bloomberg) -- The perceived risk of owning
corporate debt fell from a nine-month high reached in early
trading today as concerns eased that the paralysis of two hedge
funds run by Bear Stearns Cos. may cause a chain reaction that

Credit-default swaps based on $10 million of debt in the
CDX North America Crossover Index, surged as much as $10,000 to

($289,000) after rising 16,000 euros to 216,000 euros.
