According to reports from Bloomberg, citing a Bank of America research report, a default of a bond insurer, like ACA Capital (OTC: ACAH), could trigger a "disaster" in the credit-default swaps market.
The report said, ACA Capital may face delinquency proceedings from Maryland Insurance Administration because it can't pay $60 billion of credit-default swaps. The firm said even a credit event for a relatively small monoline, like ACA, could have significant implications. They see huge potential problems for settling credit-default swaps contracts.
