    Spanish banks may reportedly need to set aside €150B ($189B) in provisions for bad loans, an independent assessment will show when it is released this week. That's well above an IMF estimate of €40-€80B and includes provisions for retail mortgages. It's a fair guess that the speculation is a factor, along with bad-loan figures, in the rout of Spanish bonds today.
