We are reminded daily of the more immediate problem facing the region’s sovereigns – a problem whose very nature makes it difficult to address: a lack of growth due largely to the EUR itself.

Nordea Risk Perception IndexNordea (pdf)
Market reactions on balance indicating improved sentiment – especially out of Europe * Nordea Risk Perception Index has thus softened further – particularly driven by EM, Credit and Rates * Low-for-even-longer view may pressure vols further until year end * However, investors may be more cautious due to plenty of event risk * Continue applying vol markets either to benefit from underlying markets being range bound and/or to obtain protection against downside risks.
