1350 GMT - The risk premium on euro-denominated corporate bonds climbs as investors take precaution amid the Middle East war. "The increase has been comparatively modest so far," LBBW credit analysts say in a note. However, an escalation in the conflict raises the risks for global economies and could lead to significant credit spread widening, the analysts say. Spreads on euro-denominated investment-grade bonds hit their highest in nearly nine months at 101.66 basis points on Thursday, according to the Iboxx euro corporates index.(miriam.mukuru@wsj.com)
