LONDON, March 18 - Goldman Sachs has cut its recommendation on exposure to European bank debt to neutral from overweight, saying a lack of clarity on Credit Suisse'sCredit Suisse was thrown a $54 billion lifeline by the Swiss central bank on Thursday to shore up liquidity after a slump in its shares and bonds intensified fears about a global banking crisis.
"The Swiss National Bank's decision to provide Credit Suisse with significant and inexpensive liquidity fell short of stabilising sentiment in both the equity and credit markets," Goldman Sachs analyst Lotfi Karoui wrote in a note to clients dated March 17. Relative to 15 years ago, the sector's fundamentals were stronger and the global systemic linkages weaker - a trend that greatly limited the risk of a potential vicious circle of counterparty credit losses, Karoui noted.Goldman Sachs initiated its overweight recommendation on European bank debt in mid-January.
