Greek 2 Year Yields Spike On Talk Of New 3 Year Offering, Speculators Not Blamed Yet

Tyler Durden's picture




 

After just 5 days of relative quiet, a rumor of a Greek 3 Year bond issue is pushing GGB spreads higher over in Greece. 2 Year yields have jumped by 22 basis points to 4.91%, with concerns about the short-end of the curve are pushing the long-end wider as well, with the 10 year drifting wider. Selling in bonds has caused CDS spread to also widen, meaning that the latest round of CDS scapegoating is expected to commence in a few short minutes.

Papendrou should take this approach:

Unusual insurance case took place in Germany recently. S. Meister, prominent business man, took out a $250,000 insurance policy and paid a higher premium to have a special clause inserted to pay off in event of suicide. A year later, his company went bankrupt. In desperation, Herr Meister came up with a brilliant idea: he went back to the insurance company and demanded $125,000 or he would kill himself and make them pay the full amount. The manager, who knew Meister to be a man of his word, thought it over for a day and then paid out.

The people currently rioting in Athens couldn't find anybody willing to admit being a CDS trader, I guess.

Yes.  My understanding is that the strikers next demand will be for lower interest rates...

This is all getting so rich!

It's so good too see we already have 2 ZH posts this morning defending the narcissistic Hugh Hendry and CDS.  I know how much you guys hate propaganda.  Keep up the phony "we have no agenda/CDS are great" work will you???

The global financial system is corrupt and rigged in favor of the few. Point in any direction and you will unearth vile corruption and fraud. There are no clean hands when playing in the mud.
