The "Nightmare Of The Euro-Architects" Is Coming True: JPM Now Sees Grexit, Eurogroup "Split In Coming Days"
Perhaps the best summary - or epitaph, some would say - of the shocking events that took place in Greece this afternoon, and the resultant falling dominoes that are about to be unleashed, was given by Slovakia's finance minister Peter Kazimir, who summarized events as follows:
The nightmare of the 'euro-architects' that a country could leave the club seems like a realistic scenario after #Greece voted No today
— Peter Kažimír (@KazimirPeter) July 5, 2015
He followed it up with a Dylan Thomas quote:
We will not go gently into this good night. We stand united and we need to respond to this situation as soon as possible
— Peter Kažimír (@KazimirPeter) July 5, 2015
We assume the next lines goes as follows:
"Rage, rage against the dying of the "irreversible" currency"
And while we laid out what Deutsche Bank's 4 possible scenarios are in the case of the now confirmed "No" vote, here is JPM's Malcom Barr with the bank's latest take on Greece which is that at this point, a Grexit is JPM's "base case"... and it only
goes downhill from there.
After the "big no", euro exit is our base case
- After the “big no” it is now a race between two forces: political pressure for a deal, versus the impact of banking dysfunction within Greece
- Although the situation is fluid, at this point Greek exit from the euro appears more likely than not
Early indications of the official result suggest the result is a “No” by a comfortable margin. What happens next?
First, it will be important to see the tone of the immediate political responses both within Greece and outside. We would expect the tone to be somewhat more conciliatory on both sides. Hollande and Merkel are to meet tomorrow night to discuss the issue, and as we understand it, the Eurogroup is scheduled to meet on Tuesday. We expect that a split is likely to emerge in the coming days. The Commission and France (and possibly others) will argue that negotiations should resume immediately with an aim of finding agreement. Others will find it more difficult to return to negotiations with a newly emboldened Tsipras in short order.
In the German case, for example, the Bundestag has to be consulted before Mr Schauble can enter into discussions about a new program for Greece (as requested on 30th June). However, the Bundestag has just broken for summer recess, so any such vote will require a recall. We have seen reports that talks at a technical level between Greece and the creditors may restart tomorrow (Monday), but we can imagine that the Bundestag will express its displeasure if it feels those discussions are in-progress without their express consent.
Second, there are reports of an emergency meeting between the ECB, Bank of Greece and Finance Ministry tonight, and at the latest the ECB will likely have to take a decision about ELA support tomorrow (if not tonight). Our base case is that the ELA total will simply be rolled on a day-to-day basis for now. It is extremely difficult for the ECB to justify increasing the region's exposure to Greece at this point. That effectively means that the Greek banks are likely to run increasingly short of cash, and the acceptability of electronic forms of payments will diminish rapidly.
The Bank of Greece and Finance Ministry has a joint committee working to prioritize payments out of Greece for essential imports. There are reports, however, that suggest the logistical problems arising from these procedures are biting. Importers are facing delays in seeing their requests to make purchases processed. And Greek exporters are finding it hard to get payment in euros from those they sell to, as their customers do not want to hold any euro balances within the Greek banking system. It is difficult to get a sense of the scale of these issues at this point. But our best guess is that these issues will multiply in the days ahead.
This suggests that what we see next will be a race between two forces: political pressure to move toward an agreement despite resistance from a number of northern European parliaments, versus the increasingly unpleasant implications of a dysfunctional banking system on the other. This latter force is unpredictable: it may manifest itself in pressure on the government to stand down, or it may generate a more unified “siege mentality” within Greece. The July 20th payment of €3.5bn to the ECB as Greek bonds mature creates one possibly fixed point as we look forward, but our sense is that could be dealt with via a number of mechanisms if political talks are progressing (transfer of SMP profits, short-term ESM loan, for example).
Our base case is that the pressures coming from a dysfunctional banking system in Greece will shorten the time horizon to negotiate a deal to a handful of weeks. As that pressure builds, there is likely to be a temptation to call a referendum in Greece on euro membership, and for the state to begin issuing I-O-Us or similar and giving these some status as legal tender. To the extent that pensioners and public sector employees find themselves being paid with such instruments, it takes the banks further away from solvency (they have liabilities in euros, but will have loans to individuals being paid or receiving “i-o-u” s which will be worth a lot less). Meanwhile, we expect at least some countries in the rest of the region (not least Germany) will not hurry over the design of a new program, and will find it difficult to get parliamentary assent for any such program.
This is a path that suggests to us that there is now a high likelihood of Greek exit from the euro, and possibly under chaotic circumstances. Perhaps the rest of the region will agree to a reasonably quick deal, or the ECB will raise ELA enough to retain minimal viability in the payments system. Perhaps the pressures of dysfunctional banks will force Mr Tsipras to stand down, and a deal is subsequently made. But for now, we would view a Greek exit from the euro as more likely than not.

Next stop: the BRICS Summit this Wednesday -
Greece and the BRICS SummitThe euro is a currency union - you are not allowed to leave a union, as the US Civil War showed.
Logically, we must therefore have a war to keep Greece in the union and properly subjugated.
Yep, SEIU totally agrees. Why, ask any of the enslaved union folk in Wisconsin after Scott Walker freed them.
You go fight the war of EuroZone Agression. I have my pack off for now.

Germany should be bombed every twenty years or less... no reason why... they know it -

Hopefully Grexit happens, but now I'm waiting for Texit.
This could get out of control.
US has 3 weeks to stage a color revolution, but even then, the damage done economically to Greece the past 2 weeks at this point is going to be irreconcilable with the political determination to end Greece's current fiscal situation.
Depending on how people react to the failed Greek banking system, things might start getting out of control in Greece and quickly.
Tourism this year is likely to be decimated. Expect lots of Greek economic refugees in the coming future to a country near you.
They have been recieving more refugees recently from the choas we produced in Lybia, producers, collectors, we are the absolute best, at fookin things up.
We always knew this was coming, unpayable debts will not be paid. The question now is with the rest of the PIIGS.
The EU and N.Amer. is swamped with upayable debt.
After decades of rigging interest rates and gold, that is the issue.
Thanks to the BIS, the BoE esp.
… and RIGHT in the middle of their Summer Hols !
Everyone here long pm's when the "base case: Grexit" story hit? I bet JPMorgan was.
Hey guys, we're talking about Greece here. With an exit from the euro Greece will quickly become a socialist workers paradise like Venezuela. You'll see another 500,000 productive people emigrate to the rest of Europe and Greece will experience 40% inflation, strikes, shortages, and riots. These people will not replace EuroSocialism with Greek free enterprise.
Big difference - Venezuela is not going to the BRICS summit on Wednesday.
Greece has port facilities and passage ways to the Black Sea. They are also at the connecting end to Russian gas coming in from Turkey. All poor Venezuela has is poor people ... however they have plenty of those.
go back to geography class dude or learn to google ...
are you mad, sir?
Oil reserves in millions of barrels

If you need tutoring in crude oil, get in touch :o)
with your ignorant comment about Venezuela shows what an uninformed know nothing you really are. Venetzuela has lots and lots of gas and oil. Why do you think USA is tryign to crush them, for the poor people?
I hope "they" are not setting up Europeans for the nuclear option: United States of Europe. It does not look like but after all these years "they" are blowing up the euro too easily. Hopefully this will not happen but you never know with "they".
Why would the US need to foment a color revolution in Greece?
From a purely banking perspective, a Grexit is a Euro-positive development, as the dead weight is cast off, and the global game now is competitive devaluation, while claiming to be for a strong currency. If anyone is going to deploy snipers on Syntagma Square, Führer Ferkel has exporters to defend, as Mario can defend DB with his printing press to some extent...

Ned, why are you (and your children) not willing to die in a war to secure God-given bankster rights?
This to say: my initial post was sarc.
No need to go to war. Banksters win with the TPP

I have a bad habit of checking drudge, but I only click it to see what's not there.
BTW, let's not forget that Tsipras met with the head of the new BRICS Bank in Russia last month -
Guess who’s running the new BRICS BankAnd watch now for Paul Craig Roberts to release an article about how Greek democracy has just dealt a death blow to the "American Empire" -
Propaganda vs. Reality: Examining globalist whackadoo Paul Craig Roberts’ dialectic nonsensecould Greek bonds default cause collapse in us bonds. After all we are all interconnected
you never know
it may cause a $5 up day in gold.
But hey, the Seppo lackeys are going to have a meeting. Frog and kraut
Spitz you keep forgetting the zero behind that five!
And the minus in front.
You keep on forgetting about paper manipulators.
Gold is up $8...And Oil is down $1.95...at the time of posting.
Collapse Douche Bunk, collapse.
well, in a free market, a collapse in greek bonds and GrExit could easily cause a run on periphery debt, ie Portugal, Spain, Italy mainly. This, in turn, could freeze up the market for government bonds, or at the very least, make it substantially more expensive for the countries in question to raise funds.
In this process, we'd see margin calls, and medium sized companies would be caught out on the wrong side of the fence, and - essentially - go bankrupt due to these bad calls.
Once we see Greece, and a number of medium-sized banks, they in turn could cause an even bigger freeze on the lending market, and larger banks and countries would suddenly be in serious trouble. Portugal might default.
And once we see not just Greece, but also Portugal, and the banking systems in default, this could very conceivably cause the collapse of Spain and Italy, which in turn through contagion would take down France, Germany, England - and although the US could potentially even take the hit of England's collapse, they sure as hell couldn't take the collapse of the entire European continent.
BUT, we don't live in a free market. We live in an intervention zone, where the central banks pick winners and losers. And they will print to oblivion to let their friends off the hook before that day arrives.
Nice summary.
Let the fckas print I say, they only dig their graves deeper....dumb fcks think finny money will save them.....serfs will come looking for them to hang
Think closer to home, like puerto rico tax free bonds which can't be paid.
Like Puerto Rico isn't enough, now were getting in bed with Cuba too.
I know, we can have the individual country and their Euros differentiated based on the finances of that country.
It would be, you know, like individual currencies..... Euros like before there were Euros....
Sorry Angela, the money Greece owed you was just like your virginity, one prick (Tspiras) and it was all gone!
At least she finally got laid.
Do we have a credit event NOW?

Nein, Nein, Nein!!!
So if the "debt" is now worthless, then who have to be writing down the principle? How they be looking right about now?
All of a sudden the biggies (DB v JPM, etc.,) seem to be starting to hammer one another's positions.
Business as normal on the Big Wheel of Fortune.
Screw your buddy and skullfuck your partner .... It's Bonus Time at the TBTF's!
yeah and they've just got a whiff of blood.....wait'll they start eatin' each other and really work up some churn
BTW, didn't just last week the Greeks petition to stay in the EU and some EU big wigs said that they should stay?
So, where's the new fear porn coming from?
The BEST deal for Greece is to default, restructure and stay in the EU to enjoy the access to their markets, drop the Euro and reissue the Drachma (or some such), continue to engage Russia, China and The AIIB, etc.
Beware of the Banks bearing BS stories disguised as Greek gifts to get you to churn that account.
Gonna be some sad hedgies today. Many had bet on Greece staying with the DEBT paln and so were long the debt, loans, etc.
that bet will cost them dearly but nothing like the door closing here will......that is if they're still even in the game when that day comes
More than ever, the Thouand-Year Currency Union is at risk.
It's actually pretty funny, in the usual sick, human way, when great leaders succeed in producing one more of their irreversible, indissoluble, perpetual conceits.
I'm not counting the days, but it would be indeed be pleasant to see the "Eurpean Union" in History's commodious dustbin... to be followed by the United State of America.

"...and earth round about cried fearfully, and the sea was moved and tossed with dark waves, while foam burst forth suddenly: the bright Son of Hyperion stopped his swift-footed horses a long while, until the maiden Pallas Athena [15] had stripped the heavenly armour from her immortal shoulders.

Good thing the Fed hasn't given any US taxpayer Money to the Euro...
it would be funny if they had to do a tiny little bit of explaining

Go back to the "disbursements" in '08--lotsa' money going to U.S. "subsidiaries" of European banks. Santander ...
What on earth makes you think they'll explain anything?

you sir/madame/honorable thing have accumulated a reddie for stating (with more or less precision, but certain ranking accuracy) the current situation. That's a fact. (translating for the reddie-crowd: Thaz fax)
One posits that you have attracted your own, personal, always with you, reddie-generator. Truth be damned, your reddie-generator will always want to get closer to you. You will never know what it is--certainly it knows not what it does.
With full understanding that this is more than a micro-aggression, why it might rise to the heights of an actual hate-crime, I welcome you to the guild of reddie-accumulators for no particular reason. In fact, reason has the least of things to do with their ability to manufacture an infinite supply of reddies.

The debts will be nonperforming and probably junk status their finances until Jubilee or Bankruptcy. Until then no one makes any payments.
There won't be any way to borrow and run retail businesses, so things will get very bad. Bridging over quickly will be the best solution, on the other side of bankrupt.

They should begin to move to an open source software financial and political system at this point although they may not be able to do that completely unless they have nukes and I don't know if Greece has nukes.
Everything written above will come to pass I think and may indeed "already be programmed into a computer."

Greece is not a nuclear armed nation. The nations that are: USA, UK, France, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, North Korea, and Israel. Saudi Arabia could acquire a nuke tomorrow from Pakistan, and Japan could build them without any difficulty.

Hey, if Greece tries to leave, the EU should take a page from Lincoln's book and send in the troops to devastate their country. Then they can institute martial law and outlaw the Greek flag.
Yup! Works every time.
You could argue that the reason why the "United States of America" had it's "Civil War" was because it was still possible for the North to win at that time...

I am somewhat sentimental after all.
I wish to throw some fuel on the fire. From my reading for the last 10 years, or so, colatteral is very scarce. No one has ventured into this as far as I have seen. So who wants to bet a whole megabunch that the colleratal out there is all hypothacated 5, 10, 100 times. So when one goes broke they all get to go broke. Banks, mortgage lenders, and a ton of evey financial paper there is. Zoop, it is all lost, and Corzined. Maybe . . .
What about little Jamie Dimond? Say it isnt so!
With just the derivatives that Douche bank is holding would be enough to collapse the entire EU and that just one part of the paper disaster sitting on everyones books. They are riding the tiger with no idea on how to get off......
S l o . . . . . WHO?
Bunch of PIKERS these EU Spokescritters!
If there's any doubt about who Greece's FRIENDS really are then they now know,
FUCK THE EU.
They wont leave. They'll default inside the EZ and have germany pay for it. Which has been the Greek plan all along.
Why can't these talking heads understand one simple thing: no country can be forced to leave, there is no legal mechanism for throwing a nation out. They have to go voluntarily, which is something that nobody in Greek politics has suggested they want to do. And even if they did, it would take 18-24 months to get the wheels turned (legally speaking) to make it happen, all the while the EZ would burn.
Greece are playing a dangerous game, but they are playing it very well so far.
Game theory jockey, goes to level two.....
"The nightmare of the 'euro-architects' that a country could leave the club seems like a realistic scenario after Greece voted No today."
What a bullshit! The Euro was designed by politicians, not by economists. Economists would never have agreed to it. The politicians had in mind that if a country would get into trouble then they would not let that crisis go to waste and forge an even more political, financial and economical union. But they had not taken a crisis like the one of 2007/8 into account. It are the EU politicians in Brussels and their financial cousins in Frankfurt that in their blind ambition and their arrogant self elevated importance killed the European dream.
Friedman didn't agree, although he did say it wouldn't last 10 years, so, skoshi' he was wrong on that.

next will be Spain, Portugal and Italy....
OT: After paying off my mortgage note in May, 2015, my FICO score dropped immediately 45 points. Reason: There is no indication of loan payment being made for June."
Too fucking funny. I know there's no loan payment made for June. I paid it off in May. Keeping a high FICO means you have to constantly be making loans and paying them off faithfully. Once you pay off your IOUs and not make any more loans, the creditors trash your credit worthiness. Either you pay up or your name is mud. FU banker shysters.
How dare you pay off your debt?! You are not a good patriot!
Perhaps an asset forfeiture is in order.
And I think a tax audit might be in order as well. That is the usual tactic of the government if they don't like you.
also happened to me. sold properties/ started renting- within 2 mo. fico dropped about 50 pts. same comment re: reason. bastiges. i guess u gotta play the game if you're gona play the game. if ur out any length of time, don't expect to get any loan easily- so they try to keep you in with "threats"
If you hold assests they will suck on your cock nice and slow. You can get any debt you want, they just want you back in.
If you hold no assets (like, you fucking sunk your damned canoe while fishing with all your assets... dumbass) and are paying no debt, then yea, they'll assume deadbeat.
Ya mas!
Grexit cannot be because that means Catastrophe on Germany , to a good degree courtesy of a collapsing Deutche bank which will bring down Germany and every scumbag EU government that supported who re Merkel.
Base case :) is that EU governments will hurry to conclude an agreement with Greece....
Best Case : FK EURO, FK weak USA , FK EU trash, FK NATO garbage and ally with Russia.
My guess, the EU plan now is to stir up riots as ATMs go without cash in order to foment a color revolution. With hired snipers to shoot both protestors and policemen at random.
Queue the pictures from the US of pickups backing into walls to steal ATMs.
Only the size of the pickup varies.....

And so Frau Merkel is off to Paris on Monday to meet with Monsieur Hollande. She's not going to EU HQ in Brussels, but to see Hollande in Pah-REE. Hmmm.
And wherever she goes and whatever she does with Hollande will be registered by the NSA. Always handy, just like these nude pictures of her when she was a teenager swimming at the lakeside in the DDR.
Nude pics of Angela? Whew, nein danke!

On second though, save your dinner and don't consider b)--her aidz would prolly strangle you with left-over clothes-lines.
Lovers of democracy should not be too quick to rejoice. History shows that, in such situations, we the bankers almost always manage to snatch victory out of defeat. Our options are endless, including:
