ABX and RMBS are two distinctly different markets. One is cash instrument, the other is (was) synthetic. FT should stick to stating the facts and not expressing opinions.

The FT article includes the allegation that CS traders ignored the ABX index while valuing RMBS bonds in 2008. This could make a good rule for Valuation Committees: don't ignore the ABX.
