European Sovereign Risk Soars As Bank Contagion Spreads

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The ECB's "whatever it takes" ponzi strategy of keeping the dream alive in Europe's financial system has finally been caught as rapid collapse in the banking system is contagiously spreading to peripheral sovereigns once again. Portugal risk spreads are up 120bps in the last 3 weeks and Spain and Italy are soaring over 35 and 50bps respectively as the almost self-dealing nature of banks buying "risk-free" EU bonds and repoing for cash via The ECB comes home to roost...

 

 

And now The ECB is cornered as any more NIRP will merely exacerbate the stress in the financial system and lead to a vicious circle in sovereign risk.

Collapse, Contagion or Cunt?

"Contagion" is the one I was thinking of, but yeah, come to think of it, there are a lot of "c" words in this business. "Contained" is another one.

Draghi and the Central Banksters and Goldman have screwed the world for good.  Let's see if they can control this explosion of bank risk.  

How high will gold rise?  How much will the Dow fall?

All those banksters leaping off buildings. Huge demand for nail guns.

This is the global debt bomb, or as this author writes, "Central Banking Terrorism."

ECB & Draghi better fire up the Schmatter-wagon.

There is only one way for Draghi and his crew to deal with it: removing any quota on which country they can buy bonds from. Hopefully the blow up of DB should give some arguments to Greek tax payers who will refund Germany's quagmire.

Another good look at real money, real jobs and realtime tax withholdings.

That's OK. The top .05% are doing just fine. They've grabbed all the valuable tangible assets using the Keynesian borrow and steal method of wealth accumulation.
