19th Jun - EU Open: Get to the choppaaa!


G20 has provided nothing concrete. The Calendar has been updated. Looking at it makes me think there will probably be no comprehensive solutions or suggestions for now, as the ESM is still waiting for German approval – both from the constitutional court and the parliament. FOMC meeting will be running from Tuesday to Wednesday, and probably that is what is keeping the stock markets levitating, against the bad news elsewhere. The 22-Jun “Big Four” (Germany, France, Italy, Spain) crisis meeting is the next important event, and I would look for any subtle changes in leader’s rhetoric after the event. For Greece, see the updated Greece Election Results
