17:07 [Dow Jones] BP CDS look relatively rosy at the close New York time Thursday, trading at 470 basis points, according to Markit--144 bps better than Wednesday's close. That's despite criticisms of BP CEO Tony Hayward's performance at a regulatory grilling on Capitol Hill & downgrade by Standard & Poor's to A from AA-. But most trade in BP CDS takes in London, so Fri might be a different story. Meanwhile, Deepwater Horizon-related oil and gas credits fared better, with CDS on Anadarko Petroleum Corp. at 624bps, 51bps better than Wednesday; Halliburton 12bps better at 172bps; and Transocean 45bps better at 591bps.
