Financial information services firm Markit has postponed the rolls of the Markit CDX North America Investment Grade, Markit CDX North America Investment Grade High Volatility, Markit CDX North America Crossover, Markit CDX Emerging Markets and Markit CDX Emerging Markets Diversified indices.

As previously scheduled, the Markit MCDX index will roll into its eleventh series on October 3 and the Markit CDX North America High Yield index will roll into its eleventh series on October 6.
