Atlantia five-year credit default swaps (CDS) jumped 13 basis points (bps) from Monday's close to 245 bps, according to data from IHS Markit. AUTS5YEUAM=MG
Controlled by Italy’s Benetton family, Atlantia has been in the crosshairs since a concrete bridge operated by its Autostrade per l’Italia motorway unit collapsed in the city of Genoa in August 2018, killing 43 people.
