Key Index May Overstate Mortgage-Debt Problems (WSJ.com)
FRANKFURT -- The prices of a key index that banks use to gauge their subprime-related losses have been damped partly by factors that have little to do with the risk that borrowers could default on mortgages, according to a Bank for International Settlements report.
