Banco Santander SA contingent-convertible bonds bounced back as investors digested a surprise decision to skip a call option.
The bank’s 6.25 percent euro Additional Tier 1 notes rose more than 0.5 cents on the euro to about 98 cents, after tumbling late Tuesday in the wake of Santander’s decision to not use a March redemption option. Dollar AT1s, callable in May, gained almost a cent in U.S. trading after initially selling off. The bank’s shares were little changed in Madrid.
