13th Sep - EU Open: We are the Federales


Fed day. My gut feeling is that after the CB action from US is seen and analyzed, markets will turn their focus to the holes in the European plan. American QE is now almost 100% priced in, so I expect slight kneejerk positive reaction followed by "sell the news" in both SPX and EURUSD.

Markkinoiden huomio keskittyy tänään USA:n keskuspankin FED:in, jolta odotetaan uutta määrällistä elvytystä (QE3). Uusi määrällinen elvytys tukisi osakkeita ja hyödykkeitä sekä painaisi dollaria. Markkinan suunta: Saksan perustuslakituomioistuimelta odotettu päätös hyväksyä Saksan osallistuminen EVM:ään, markkinoilla positiivinen reaktio päätökseen. Tänään erittäin tärkeä USA:n keskuspankin avomarkkinakomitean ilmoitus mahdollisista uusista elvytystoimista. Markkinoiden enemmistö odottaa uutta QE3:sta. Apple julkaisi odotetun kaltaisen iPhone 5:n, toimitukset alkavat jo syyskuussa. Osakefutuurit flättinä eli odottavalla kannalla ennen FED kokousta.

"An acquisition of government bonds on the secondary market by the European Central Bank aiming at financing the Members’ budgets independently of the capital markets is prohibited as well, as it would circumvent the prohibition of monetary financing."

The vote in the Netherlands may now form part of a pattern, in which European voters scare the daylights out of mainstream politicians by flirting with the extremes – only to shy away on election day itself.

Goldman On Spain's Tension-Inducing ArroganceZH
The opposition seen in Germany in response to Mr Draghi’s preparedness to buy sovereign debt implies that current posturing in Spain will not wear well with the politics of signing a Memorandum of Understanding in Germany. The more the Spanish administration indulges domestic political interests and is perceived to be taking undue advantage of external support, the more explicit conditionality is likely to be demanded.

This Gordian knot is, in turn, the consequence of two forces at the heart of the EU’s functioning—or rather, its epic dysfunctions: a creditor protection dogma and a fiscal black hole.
