European Markets Sliding (Fast)

Tyler Durden's picture




 

FX, bond, and stock markets in Europe are not happy. As the EURRUB sees it biggest drop this year (Ruble buying), it appears whatever confidence-inspiring Dijsselblom believed in last night has faded rapidly as Italian and Spanish stocks plunge to the lows of last week (after opening gap higher). Italian and Spanish bank stocks are on-and-off halted. EURUSD is getting hammered. Italian and Spanish bond spreads are blowing wider from gap tighter openings. This is not good... The reason appears to be:

  • Cyprus a Template For EU, Reuters Says, Cites Dijsselblom
  • *BANCO POPOLARE SHRS HALTED AFTER FALLING 4.84% IN MILAN  :BP IM
  • *TELECOM ITALIA SHRS HALTED AFTER FALLING 3.81% IN MILAN :TIT IM
  • *INTESA SHRS HALTED AFTER FALLING 5.72% IN MILAN  :ISP IM, BP IM
  • *MEDIOBANCA SHRS HALTED AFTER FALLING 3.95% IN MILAN      :MB IM
  • *MEDIASET, FINMECCANICA, UBI SHRS SUSPENDED IN MILAN LIMIT DOWN

Hearing that DieselBoom [educated in agriculture] went long tulips last Friday, and sold ALL EUROPEAN FINANCIALS [including all billionaire deposits] against the position.  Since hardly anyone questioned him seriously last night at the presser, hearing that he is feeling pretty good about it.

In the US, financial services companies are currently submitting legislation to tear up shed floor boards across the entire country, while also advancing legislation to change the US currency from the dollar to shares of GE.

There's a paper on bail-in from the Swiss regulator:

http://www.finma.ch/e/finma/publikationen/Documents/be-swiss-SIFI-policy...

 

OK, maybe tearing it out of context but good for a comment here, page 14:

"For all that, Switzerland has decided to include a bail-in mechanism in its Swiss SIFI framework in 

compliance with the international initiatives (e.g. FSB), but to stay, at the moment, with its definitions of 

the triggers and point of non-viability. This decision may be reassessed in face of a possible 

international consensus and the future availability of a cross-border resolution framework."

Nothing capital controls can't fix.

Of course, once limits are imposed on the movement of capital and money stops crossing borders, goods and services tend to stop crossing borders as well. That's usually when troops start crossing borders instead.

Fishbowl has started. Next up all of Euroland..then as pointed out so eloquently on OathKeepers..

The big banks are the state apparatus which we need to bring about socialism, and which we take-ready made from capitalism; our task here is merely to lop off what capitalistically mutilates this excellent apparatus, to make it even bigger, even more democratic, even more comprehensive…A single State Bank the biggest of the big, with branches in every rural district, in every factory, will constitute as much as nine-tenths of the socialist apparatus. This will be country-wide book-keeping, country-wide accounting of the production and distribution of goods, this will be, so to speak, something in the nature of the skeleton of socialist society.

at best, the Cyrpus "solution" will cause those with deposits greater than 100k to open more accounts such that none of the accounts hold more than 100k. This however will bring back the original Cyrpus solution to haircut all depositors to the PIIGS ;). So in reality, there is no place to hide for those who hold cash balances. will they buy gold? will they buy equities? what will these people/entities do then? among the entities i am more interested in the likes of Apple, Google etc. who hold cash hoards overseas....

"Cyprus a Template For EU, Reuters Says, Cites Dijsselblom"

Yeah, stealing account balances over the insured limit is a template, alright -- for a bank run.

The fact that gold can sell off in an environment like this instead of scraping the ceiling like 2008 shows just how much of that market has been compromised. Can't wait for inventories to hit zero for COMEX like they have for the dutch bank Tyler posted about yesterday.

I'm not looking forward to the average person suffering, but I'll admit seeing a few members of TPTB go down in flames along with their currency that caused all this will bring a smile to my face.

<---  Sheep know what 'bank holiday' means

<---  Sheep are still asleep.

How can anyone like to see 'cash controls' put into practice and a political mentality of "if we have your assets - they are ours" going on here with CBs, Bankers, Govts, etc.?    They already ARE in our pockets with taxes, pensions, profits/losses and bonuses from their market machinations, straight up printing of money etc.  Let alone up are asses with drone surveillance, etc.

Now they want straight in on the main 'cash' arteries. 

EVERY person LARGE AND SMALL has reason to be paranoid about assets right now.  The only ones who don't give a shit are the ones 'on the dole' and this number is large and growing quickly.

The future of cash shearing .. coming to a deposit account near you to feed the hungry lazy, disabled, unworking masses on EBT and whatever other GOVT PRO-GRAMs.   Then next gold and silver (after the confiscation the prices can rise from 2K gold, $30 silver to 50k gold and 3-5k silver. ;)  After that one they can then go after what is left and easy pickin's anyone owning real estate (first by special land or property taxes) later by direct 'emminent domain'.  They probably will just sweep through and try to confiscate assets food/water production under martial law directives (state of emergency) and such (already signed emergency acts).   All of course created by them to simply tap humans out in the most direct ways and at virtually all levels all in the name of 'protection' and 'civilization'.

I'm sorry masters, but even you can't be 'THAT' stupid to allow this one to pass. Simply out of self preservation (the master can be sheared just as easily as the sheep).

What has been done this weekend in Cyprus (the statements and original intentions) really show people not what those in power are thinking, BUT ultimately what they might be capable of DOING, and that there is no intention to stop.  The DEBT monster created (and growing larger every day) NEEDS to be FED. 

Now we are feeding it 'asset cash'.  We used to be just feeding it new debt paper.

NOT GOOD.

One thing the FED has to realize is once 'confidence' is broken - there is absolutely NOTHING they can print that will re-instill it.   NOTHING.   This in fact was what America used to stand for 'TRUST'.  When you had a USD backed by Silver or Gold - exchangable at any bank, with contracts backed by decent courts, and laws, as well as a US military and good hard working people within a decent production economy (not the hollowed out piece of shit economy we now have).  Meant you got paid if you were owed, and if you owed you'd be dealt with.  At least we 'could' believe this to be true in past times. 

NOT NOW.

Today the US military f's with anyone it wants, solely for its own interests (doesn't care about TRUST but cares about POWER).  LAWs are a JOKE because they are SELECTIVELY APPLIED, and there appear new exemptions in the BANKER or TBTF catagories, and a complete lack of backing of the currency by at least one or more tangible assets(pms) people could exchange for at any bank or negotiate with them for other things as was specifically provided for in Article 1 Section 10 of the US Constitution (and never amended contrary to popular law opinion).

Hence here we stand - right at the brink looking at exactly what it means for every person on this planet (including the masters themselves) to become enslaved to their own 'asset eating debt monster'.

Brilliant job banksters, bully for you. 

Is it time yet to slay the beast, or shall we feed it more bodies today?

And BTW how many bodies are we the people going to be REQUIRED to feed it with so I can start growing the required body mass to 'donate'.

Signed,

an Old Ant

Still no headlines of 'Dow Slumps'. When is a one percent fall not newsworthy? When the USA needs to beat up on Europe (once again).

'ZH = 'merikan shills. Part of the great 'merikan misinformation service?

Say it isn't so.

why the fuck are banks halted after falling 4 percent?

 

we have had days( the rare occasion) where banks have fallen way over 4 percent and had not been halted, yet 4 percent and they halt them?
