- Thursday, April 19, 2012, 7:45 AM A bit of chatter on the wires that may explain the big reversal in share prices over the past few minutes. One is a rehash of a 2011 favorite - the coming downgrade of France's credit rating. Another is a story out of Germany saying the German-ECB relationship has reached a breaking point. Stoxx 50 -1%, euro -0.4%, S&P +0.1%. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, April 18, 2012, 9:24 AM The IMF warns of a EU credit crunch, expecting the region's banks to shed €2.6T in assets by 2013's end. This could reduce the area's credit supply by 4.4% and cause a hit to GDP of 1.4%. (Global Financial Stability Report) A press conference discussing the release here. 5 Comments [Global & FX, Financials]
- Tuesday, April 17, 2012, 3:20 PM John Paulson's short of Europe just got a bit more interesting. He reportedly is short EU sovereign debt, but the FT reports it's German paper he's shorting as he believes the eurozone debt crisis will deepen enough to threaten that stolid stalwart's creditworthiness. Now that's a contrarian play worthy of the man behind The Greatest Trade Ever. 6 Comments [Global & FX]
- Friday, April 13, 2012, 10:20 AM ECB member Klaas Knot says the bank is "very far" from restarting its bond purchase program and hopes the central bank never has to buy up government paper again. His comments contrast with those of Benoit Coeure who said the ECB stands at the ready to relaunch its SMP. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Friday, April 13, 2012, 10:09 AM Europe touches new session lows about an hour and a half before its close for the week. Stoxx 50 -2.3%, Spain (earlier) -3.3%, Italy -2.8%, Germany -2.1%. Banco Santander (STD -3.3%), SocGen (SCGLY.PK -5.4%, Deutsche Bank (DB -3.8%), Financial ETF: EUFN -2.3%. Euro -0.7% to $1.3099. 5 Comments [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Wednesday, April 11, 2012, 1:23 PM George Soros slams the Bundesbank for clinging to an outdated doctrine, blaming a belief in sound money at least partly for the deteriorating eurozone situation. The crisis is far from over, he says, arguing the fiscal compact "cannot possibly work," and is "potentially catastrophic." 3 Comments [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, April 11, 2012, 12:37 PM "Europe 2012 is NOT Europe 2011," writes Macro Man, not discounting the economic difficulties of Spain, but arguing the LTRO has removed systemic risk from the equation. "Disillusionment with LTRO is misguided," says Genevieve Signoret. "It showed (the) ECB won't let (the) banking system collapse. Period. (It's) designed to contain crisis, not cure." 5 Comments [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, April 10, 2012, 4:46 PM Re: Europe. This isn't Jim Rickards' first rodeo. He lays out the coming sequence of events: "Spain yields spike, investors puke, Soros buys 'em at 7%, Fed eases, IMF bails out Spain via SDR debt, bonds rally, rinse, repeat." 3 Comments [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, April 10, 2012, 1:32 PM Spain has exposed the limits of the ECB's LTRO, writes John Plender, adding the program only reinforced a dynamic of weak EU banks propping up overstretched sovereign borrowers. Bank balance sheets are now in even worse shape as lenders pledged so much collateral as security for ECB loans. It's "back to make do and mend in the eurozone." 9 Comments [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, April 10, 2012, 7:11 AM European investor confidence drops to -14.7 from -8.2 in March, according to Sentix. Its gauge of expectations declines to -9.3 from -2.3. It's the first tumble for the survey in 4 months as a bit of reality intrudes on the sugar high from the ECB's LTRO. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, April 4, 2012, 8:29 AM The press conference with ECB President Draghi is about to get under way. Watch live here. Earlier, the ECB left policy unchanged. Some believe Draghi will use the press conference to indicate the central bank has done its heavy lifting, and it's now up to EU governments to follow through. Comment! [Global & FX, Breaking News]
- Wednesday, April 4, 2012, 7:28 AM European shares leg down to new session lows, today led by the core. Stoxx 50 -1.5%, the German Dax -1.9%, Spain's IBEX off "just" 0.7% after being the big laggard thus far in 2012. The euro -0.6% to $1.3151. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, April 3, 2012, 12:09 PM A look at the gaping divergence between Spain (EWP) and other major continental markets (with the S&P thrown in) this year - Germany (EWG), France (EWQ), and Italy (EWI). It reminds of the performance gap between the continent and a diving Greece this time last year, which meant little until all of a sudden it meant a lot. 6 Comments [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, April 3, 2012, 11:39 AM European shares close sharply lower, with only the closing bell halting a straight-down late-day slide. Stoxx 50 -1.8%, Germany -1.1%, France -1.8%, Italy -2%, Spain -2.8%, U.K. -0.6%. Spanish banking shares: Santander (STD) -4.1%, BBVA -4.5%. European financial ETF: EUFN remains +17.2% YTD. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, April 2, 2012, 2:58 PM David Kotok's definition of moral hazard: "The action is done today and the price is determined later; after the chickens have come home to roost." By that time, the leaders who brought on the moral hazard are gone, and those who inherit the mess get the blame. "Government only knows how to run up small losses until they are huge." 3 Comments [Global & FX]
- Friday, March 30, 2012, 3:04 PM "Contagion may ... re-emerge at very short notice ... and re-launch the potentially perverse triangle between sovereign, bank funding risk and growth," goes one of two confidential analyses prepared for EU finmins at today's meeting. The LTRO, they say, provided merely a reprieve with governments and banks needing to use the calm period to take action. 3 Comments [Global & FX]
