How can I verify CDS Index spreads online?
I am looking to independently verify CDS index spreads (IG, HY, LCDX, EM) that were provided by my client. The Bloomberg terminal in our building is down for the count, so I can't use that. Does anyone know of a way to obtain these spread values online? We also have a Reuters 3000 terminal, presume I should be able to find them on there. Thanks!

I know nothing about Reuters 3000 except I hate Reuters and think you should get your Bloomberg terminal running again. They are ever-so-not-helpful but you could try calling Reuters customer service and asking them (which will add to your impetus to get your Bloomberg terminal up again).
But online you can get this data at http://www.cmavision.com./ I wouldn't trade off that though, so be careful what you use this for...
