Sure been a choppy day, let's see how 62 gets decided.

yup.. the funny thing is ..

when one president [specially the German] ask for legality of those ECB bonds purchase .. then it is just a strawberry on the top on all this parody..

the absurd of the whole Game..

The question is.. who rule here ??
EZ bond markets are about to blow again very soon and they will translate in euro sooner rather than later but this time the picture look gloomier. Germany and EZ economies are with awful last quarterly numbers, ECB already bought (too much probably) in the bond market. Politically, the poor [in]decision in the last French/German meeting left the door wide open for debt part IV and beyond.

However, probably the most important change in the EZ front is that Merkel has lost north (not only with the Euro but with the recent international events including the lame position with Libya and the M.East....).

Either for political reasons or just simply because is too tired to deal with Germany as a global player, the consequences of Germany in the passive side can be a fatal trigger for the euro and the EU in general...

In any case, still noisy, choppy and small daily range in the euro....all negative reports and FA for the EZ but too many positions to the long side in case of QE3 that is fading by the minute with stock markets rallying on air FA but rallying at the end....

For the fundie boys, see Greek 10yr trying for 18 again. 17.8 now, the 2 year is a freaking joke, you get better rates at a loanshark, it is 41.50% now, why bother really.

2 yr at 44% now, getting hammered.

Its the herd mentality that infinitus likes to mention. IMO, If there is QE3, a good piece of the move is already digested in charts (in the case of euro just holding support is enough), if not, they can sell high if NFP et al. disappoints....the rest are just sheep following the moves in the stock markets...

FA-wise the US and global economy has not improve a bit since 3 weeks ago when the selloff started but even turned slightly worse....

The Finns are saying that they will pull out of the bailout package unless they get collatoral from Greece. Not sure what the Greeks can come up with other then some statues, or a few rusted out ships.
