Recent News on Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C)

Citigroup's (C.N) bondsrallied on Tuesday on news the bank has struck a plan to repay government money, and while its debt may have more upside, concerns over continuing loan losses is likely to keep its credit spreads volatile.
Under the deal, Citigroup will immediately sell $17 billion of common stock and about $3.5 billion of securities that turn into common shares in three years. The government will stop guaranteeing a pool of toxic assets against excessive losses, and will sell the nearly $30 billion in shares it owns.
The cost of insuring Citigroup's debt with credit default swaps fell to around 138 basis points on Tuesday, from 159 basis points before the news, according to Markit. The swaps have rallied from 200 basis points a week ago and more than 450 basis points in June.
"I think there was a bit of a surprise at how extensive the agreement with the government is, not just the repayment of TARP and removal of the loss sharing but also the complete exit of the government," said Ricardo Kleinbaum, trading sector specialist at BNP Paribas in New York.
Citigroup borrowed $45 billion under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), $25 billion of which was converted into common stock that is now worth nearly $30 billion.
Removing the government influence on the bank will have a number of positive effects, however; ending the loss-sharing program will raise risks around the bank's remaining credit exposures, analysts said.
