• The Coming Pan-European Soverign Debt Crisis

    The levered assets of the banks in many Euro-sovereign nations easily outstrip those nations' GDP's. So when the nations' banks get in trouble from bad banking practices (and a very large swath have), the nations themselves are helpless in attempting to truly save the banks (and instead only institute a bait and switch wherein private default risk/insolvency potential is swapped for public manifestations of the same).

November 5 CDS Heatmap

Tyler Durden's picture
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/06/2009 10:37 -0500



Mixed CDS action yesterday, with credit predominantly flat even as equities melted (molted?)-up. Discussions with fixed income traders indicate a predominantly bearish posture yet nobody is willing to stand against the Fed and the Druckmaschinen imports. Where is a man with Soros-size balls when you need him? Alas, that "man" just may end up being China, which would either buy the balance of the IMF gold package (and damn soon) or leave the indirect bid hanging.

Even with minor hiccup last week, the QE seems to be keeping DX charts in very happy little channel with 50dma apparently the upper limit.

Can't see why china would take a run at it on purpose. Isn't their plan to acquire gold quietly and divert attention from the shrinking greenback? An H-bomb dropped on the Fed seems like only something Iran would try to pull (and can't).
