double Q test, perhaps a strong close over 11 opens a chance at 3661/70 again...

Morning,

Looking at +/- the same. Is best r/r for longs but is last level to load. Bonds keep making the November fest. Belgium at all time highs and "amazingly" is at Italian/Spanish levels a few months ago. Spain is coming to the headlines soon (plus elections. 10 yrs trading above 6.1!!!.

The convergences to highs is taking place very fast....Eurobonds or eurobonds that probably the last and only alternative.

Lots of numbers today so will not be a calm day intrday. French numbers bad but the key ones this morning come from Germany and those expected very bad GDP in the EZ. Also in cable. Looking for stagflation scenario in key inflation numbers or simply like the rest of the EU in a negative quarter...

GL today...

I had discussion a few months ago in FF with one of those extremist anti EU/EZ and anti everything not "pure" (you probably know who) that they are so obsessed that he was losing a lot because he was shorting only because of personal believes not FA or TA....

In any case, then my view was (still is) that even if the EZ collapse it doesn't necessarily mean that we are going to trade to parity because a orderly collapse will force the ECB to set a band to create certainty in the transition process.

Even today, the only reason that euro is not at those 1.26xx is because the moves down are on panic, not sustainable and way to costly (domino effect and panic) to allow it. If the debt short is "cleared", etc, etc and with US out of QE3 and current differentials rates, the euro will fall to those levels in a sustainable downtrend....but not on panic and uncertainty

True but the longer it takes the more difficult it will become (or the closer the collapse or "solution"). Look for example, one of the key weakness in the EZ was lack of fiscal union and bond differentials. Markets are tightening those bond differentials (to the highs !!! lol) and panic and urgency are opening the debate and beyond of more fiscal consolidation.

A small trigger like a French downgrade or etc could be enough to trigger collapse or more fiscal consolidation with common bonds (with whatever technicalities they decide in the process) making the "going down" delay for who knows when...

We'll see
