Rebooting the Eurozone: Step 1 – Agreeing a Crisis narrativevox
The Eurozone Crisis, which broke out in May 2010, is a long way from finished. Worse yet, many of the fragilities and imbalances that primed the monetary union for the Crisis are still present. EZ decision-makers will never agree upon the changes needed to prevent future crises unless they agree upon the basic facts that explain how the EZ Crisis got so bad and lasted so long. CEPR Policy Insight 85 presents a consensus narrative of the causes.

IMF programmes: Greece vs Iceland vox
Iceland’s external debt was de jure private, while Greece’s external debt was sovereign debt. Iceland has its own currency, making it easy to create a current account surplus through a lower exchange rate. The government of Iceland took full ownership of the IMF programme, which was not the case in Greece.

October’s FOMC minutes point to a December rate hike…and gradual pace of rate hikes thereafter * Minutes suggest US weathered well global financial stress…and US domestic demand to support growth going forward

Eye-OpenerNordea
Minutes suggest December hike, yields lower, USD weaker * Fed and ECB speeches, few data on the agenda * Germany sells 2-years at record lows * Riksbank comments strengthen SEK

Morning MarketsTF
Asian bourses mostly took a positive lead from Wall Street, with equities surging in Japan and Sydney. Indeed the rise was so strong on the ASX that it sparked talk of an early Santa rally, with the big four banks and top miners back in favour. Shanghai joined the rally party too, but only made modest gains.

FX UpdateTF
The FOMC minutes were entirely in line with expectations, and the price action after their release suggests that more was needed to keep the US dollar on the rally track. But is this a brief hiccup, or is the USD ripe for a further correction, especially versus the commodity dollars?

From the FloorTF
The Federal Open Market Committee has released its latest minutes, and the countdown to liftoff is on. As the big event draws nearer, however, it strangely begins to lose its epic scale.
