UPDATE 1-Santander out with new dollar bond

(Corrects to indicate previous deal was offered by US unit)

By Mike Gambale

NEW YORK, Oct (HKSE: 3366-OL.HK - news) 13 (IFR) - Santander UK Group Holdings has mandated banks for a US dollar-denominated bond deal to price on Tuesday, just weeks after a US unit of the bank pulled a planned offering.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Barclays (LSE: BARC.L - news) , HSBC and Santander set initial price thoughts on the five-year unsecured bond at Treasuries plus 170bp-175bp.

On September 28 Santander Holdings USA pulled a two-part bond with three and five-year maturities that was being led by Citi, JP Morgan, Santander and UBS (NYSEArca: FBGX - news) .

The investment-grade bond market was caught up in a broad-based sell-off in financial markets at the time, but has started to make a comeback.

Among other issuers in the market Tuesday are BBVA (Amsterdam: BA6.AS - news) , which is selling a five-year bond, Mizuho Bank, with both senior and subordinated trades, and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corp.

Fidelity National Information Services (NYSE: FIS - news) and SC Johnson & Son are also in the market.

Fifteen issuers raised US$20bn last week, ushering in a turnabout in sentiment in tandem with a bounce back in equities, and bankers are expecting some US$15bn-20bn more this week with FIG leading the way.

Earnings are also in focus, with JP Morgan reporting results after Tuesday's close. (Reporting by Mike Gambale; Writing by Natalie Harrison; Editing by Marc Carnegie)
