The Horror... The Horror: European July, August Sovereign Bond Issuance Calendar

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 07/08/2012 20:16 -0400

Well at least Spanish 10 Year bonds aren't above 7% and Italy is safely below 6%. Wait... what's that? Oh... uh uh... uh uh... Oh... Really... Oh ok...

Scratch that.

As a reminder 7% is and has always been a very magic number for Europe:

Full forward bond issuance:

July

10 July: Greece auction. Bills.
12 July: Italy auction. Bills.
13 July: Italy auction. Bonds.
17 July: Spain auction. Bills.
17 July: Greece auction. Bills.
19 July: Spain auction. Bonds.
24 July: Spain auction. Bills.
26 July: Italy auction. Bonds.
27 July: Italy auction. Bills.
30 July: Italy auction. Bonds.

Other events:

20 July: Eurogroup meeting (tentative). According to Reuters, the MoU on Spanish bank recap has been delayed to allow more time for negotiations and a new Eurogroup meeting has been pencilled in for 20 July. The MoU is due to specify the terms of the European loans – duration and interest rates. Again according to Reuters the first tranche of the loan will be sent to Spain’s bank restructuring fund (FROB) on time for the
state rescued banks.

August:

2 August: Spain auction. Bonds
13 August: Italy auction. Bills
14 August: Italy auction. Bonds
16 August: Spain auction. Bonds
21 August: Spain auction. Bills
28 August: Spain auction. Bills
28 August: Italy auction. Bonds
29 August: Italy auction. Bills
30 August: Italy auction. Bonds

Other events:

20 August: ESM to become operational (Tentative). The following euro-area countries have not ratified the ESM yet: Estonia, Italy and Germany. We think they will all do by the first week of August. Then the first installment of the capital has to be paid by each ESM member within 15 days of the ESM treaty entering into force. Hence, the ESM will not be in a position to lend money until the last 10 days of August.

Is anyone happy with government nowadays, regardless which country they are from?

The constant worry over employment, rising food prices, loss of "quality" living and so on is having an effect around the world. You would think some of them at the top would recognize what is really happening on main streets around the world and try and fix it instead of squabbling and making promises they cannot keep except for raising the weight of the burden on our shoulders via taxes.

What do you get when you add Bills and Bonds together? Blonds.

Maybe they should start selling those...

It's summertime. Who cares what the rate is on Spanish bonds?

In September, when I sober up, that's when I'll look at what the

rate is on anything. Until then, QUIEN SABE!

They are a c-hair away from being 100% bidless trade...on everything.

It'd be nice to know how much they're trying to auction. Is it a billion or 100 billion?

Spain / Portugal / Greece are absolutely screwed. Italy is a sideshow but if contagion spreads will be the end game. These are debtor nations and their only hope is to abadon the Euro or they run the risk of being a consumer driven basketcase like the USA.
