LONDON, Feb 9 (Reuters) - The cost of insuring exposure to Credit Suisse debt fell at Thursday's close after rising earlier in the day as the Swiss lender reported its worst annual loss since the 2008 global financial crisis.


The five-year credit default swaps (CDS) dropped by 6 basis points (bps) to 289 bps from 295 bps earlier on Thursday, data from S&P Global Market Intelligence showed. That meant it closed the session below Wednesday's level at 291 bps.
