26th Jul - US Open: Super Mario


Mario surprised all with promises to do “anything it takes”. Good risk rally – or short squeeze going on. I had a chat with 'people' and one possibility is that as the summer holidays are now on and Spain's bailout is definitely not coming at the moment, they are intervening verbally. I don't see the ECB having "licence to print", but some SMP might come next if the markets start doubting Draghi's message. Is that a bazooka in your pocket or are you just happy to see my yields?

Quote of the Day: Draghi summarized - rating agencies wrong & markets wrong & negative comments wrong - only he & Juncker are right - sounds like a 5 year old – TF Market Advisor via twitter

The Euro as the SDR of EuropeCredit Writedowns
A step backwards by Europe from dystopian fantastical object of a single currency, to a mini-version of what Bretton Woods should have been, could thus be a workable way out of this crisis and towards the political dream of a non-fractious Europe.

Draghi on *that* transmission mechanismalphaville / FT
How can the ECB support rates in Germany, when they have to depress rates in the periphery? It is for this reason we think that the Bundesbank has been holding back ever more bund supply at auction — since it must now act semi-independently to ease the squeeze in the bund market.
