Deutsche Bank Ponders Multi-billion Dollar Bond Buyback

  Deutsche Bank AG DB shares were up nearly 10 percent in aftermarket trading Tuesday following a Financial Times report indicating it was considering buying out billions of euros of its senior bonds to offset a decline in the value of its securities.

  Deutsche Bank management made several seemingly effective statements to calm investors, noting that the bank would make its AT1 securities payment for the year. Co-CEO John Cryan instructed employees to assure clients that the bank's capital position was "rock solid," according to Reuters.

  Deutsche Bank shares have declined from $24.15 coming into the new year to a 30-year low of $15.38 Thursday morning, Reuters wrote. European banking has suffered in the first months of the year, with the Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC RBS and Credit Suisse Group AG (ADR) CS taking major price hits. Deutsche Bank has faced significant challenges from European regulators, however, which have hobbled its attempts to come back from the 2008 financial crisis.
