The on-the-run iTraxx Europe index saw two downgrades last month, as hotel group Accor and car component manufacturer Valeo shifted to high yield. Accor posted a first half loss of €227m while plunging demand for cars drove Valeo's downgrade. These names remain in the CDS index until the semi-annual roll on 21 September.
