EURUSD Plunges Below 1.30 As As Eurobond Yields Turn Negative As Far As The Eye Can See

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Having promised "whatever it takes" and now doing what many thought was un-possible, Mario Draghi has managed to smash EURUSD back to 14-month lows below 1.30 (without actually buying one bond - just promising) and has sent yields on most European bonds negative to 2Y (and Germany near negative in 4Y).

EURUSD at 14-month lows...

 

Perihperal European bond spreads are collapsing...

 

and Stocks are surging in Europe...

 

As yields on most are negative to 2Y... Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Slovakia 2Y rates are doewn 8-10bps today!!

Will send Euro-cash into American equities.  Not to mention, the FED will raise rates in Jan.  Last hurrah for the USSA stock market, might provide enough support to keep the stale economy limping along until late 2016.

I think the spr is already drained.  Theres only a few barrels left, and all that is going to go to the military so they can maintain the peace.

Negative yields are immaterial.

The question is: Will the bond appreciate from here? Bond investors don't care about the yield; they just want to sell them at a profit.

Indeed; we are all Japan now.

So the "market" is showing that there is no risk in Europe in the short term?

Or that there is imminent crashing in Europe and every last fiat is being stuffed into anything and everything that offers a modicum of government protections?

Or we actually live in a machine derived fantasy world while they harvest our bio-electricity?

Or I'm dreaming?

World trade will grind to a halt because of these policies. Eventually and I believe it's happening right now no one will trust anyone's credit line.

At some point the return on loaning money is simply not worth the risk!  It might soon become apparent the economic efficiency of credit is beginning to collapse and the additional money poured into the system coupled with lower rates can no longer drive the economy forward.  When this happens we are at the end game.

 Why do you want to loan money if most likely you will never be repaid or repaid with something that is totally worthless? When this happens the only safe place to store wealth will be in "tangible assets" and the only lenders will be those who print the money that nobody wants.

The collapse of credit can pose major problems such as what we saw when many sellers were forced to demand payment up front before shipping goods in 2008. More on this subject below.

bank create the money they loan thanks to the fractional reserve paradigm & they charge huge interest on top of whatever the ecb rate is.

there is no collapase of credit there is collapse of a system that was designed to collapse (they could not be so stupid as to imagine thatcreating money out of thin air could be a viable system for the people).

open your eyes & understand the process of money creation & you'll get it eventually

Exactly, this is the same as a haircut.  Europeans won't be able to afford non-european produced goods/services unless drastic action is taken soon (next decade) and the snowball will begin growing as American/Asian profits decrease for decreasing consumer base (Euroarea).

The Euro-zone is engaged in a talkathon, with fear of an immediate collapse off the table the members of the Euro-zone much like their political counterparts in America just talk about solutions without any action.

For us in America news from across the pond dribbles out in small doses with almost daily media boost of promises that things are about to get better. Now with war a possibility they can only just keep talking. For more on all of "what is not happening" see the article below.

Draghi is up 10 big figures on (how many?) UST's held by Brussels at the NYF?  Not a bad trade.  This has a couple more months to run, German car companies buy their EUR for next year's sales between now and Xmas.  I tend to think they bartered silence on the Ukhie lunacy front for another 10 big figs. When Draghi is given the Wittelsbach Prize and made an honorary Bavarian you should all applaud.  The chutzpah, if nothing else.

Maybe the only thing left to do is declare a bank holiday in the US and when we all wake up Monday morning the decimal point will have moved over one place.

Yellen must have a plan in place to print up some emergency money to stabilize the USDEUR rate.  I'm sure Japan will comply also.
