Spain Refuses To Admit It Has A Problem
As hope fades of an ECB-funded lift to their bonds, Spain's Rajoy and Italy's Monti skip hand in hand to a press conference where they just agreed that water is wet and the sky is blue and that:
- *RAJOY: WE WANT BANKING UNION, FISCAL UNION SOON (and ponies)
- *RAJOY SAYS WE ARE ASKING GREAT SACRIFICES FROM CITIZENS
- *RAJOY SAYS SPAIN, ITALY CONVINCED ON NEED FOR BUDGET CUTS
But, as the market is indicating - no request for a bailout (why would they need that?) - and so Italian and Spanish bond yields are soaring and EURUSD is plunging further. It seems the Kubler-Ross model remains front-and-ceter with denial critical as beggars once again believe they can be choosers but the inexorable belief that they can magically grow their way out of over a decade of debt-fueled excess remains. (Spain 10Y Spread +65bps now from pre-Dragi and Italy +62bps)

Sprinkle unicorn tears, hopium extract, chant under a full moon and promise it all when your enemy is not looking...Magick is not to be taken lightly; Magik the dangerous endeavor as the practitioner can experience severe blowback*.
*Magik econ significantly more lethal than Voodoo econ.
Ponzi crash spell sans tears, dust, extracts and lunar cycles.
Its the Moops' fault.
For sale:
1ea - Spanish national sovereignty, includes general public support. Some fiscal concerns, unemployment and miner (literally) civil unrest. Price very, very negotiable.
Olé...it's the famous bullfighter mentality...there is no problem as long as your not on the bulls horns !!!
I am sure the 25%+ of the unemployed youth are going to sacrifice for the banksters of Spain.
pods
correction , Spain overall unemployment is 25%, their youth unemployment is over 50%!!
Plenty more milling around the eh-squares in their eh-scarves and black windeh-breakers this winter. "Let's go eh-window ppfhopping."
Works the same as asking the other broke countries for bailout money so they can loan it back to them. The bankers are just incredible. I don't even know what to say about the public anymore.
It is a human right to have a pony in every back yard.
if that pony is for food, then you would be correct sir.
First there needs to be a law concerning concealed ponies and "stand your barn" exemptions.
they can want in one hand and poop in the other to see which fills up faster
Flying talking scented PURPLE ponies!

Reminds me of my mother in-law who just lost her job again. Last time she went to Florida and purchased a big screen.
Question:
If the Euro dies and all countries revert back to their original currency, where will all you FX guys cash in your Euro's?
That won't happen before they kick one to four countries out first.
The last one standing gets to keep all the pretty EURO´s.....think of how much money they will save by not having to print a new currency
It's a classic standoff. Spain needs money, but it doesn't dare admit how much. Draghi tried to pull a fast one and support them in the bond market, but the Buba has slapped him down and said he cannot do anything until they have a formal request, and an agreed MoU - i.e. show us the books.
Rajoy is up to his neck in it, his People's Party has been responsible for some of the worst overspends at regional level, which they have deliberately concealed.
The Germans know he is speaking privately about a bailout of the order of €500 billion to cover the Kingdom of Spain, the Autonomous Regions and the banks, but he keeps pretending it is merely a banking problem and a liquidity crisis for the sovereign, whereas they are just flat out broke.
From PIIGS Euro, to Nasdaq, to Knight..., nobody admits mistake.Because whatever they do, the Fed and ECB can print, then "its all taken care of".
If you have to make a statement such as " I dont have a problem..", you assuredly ..have a problem.
if the euro breaks 120 then the beasr will finally catch a break..(until the fed steps in to help euroland)
Over on RAN Squawk just now: Baltic Dry Index falls 1.9% to 861.
Global trade seizing up. The BDI actually set new crisis lows earlier this year, struggled back over 1100 and now appears to be breaking down again. Deep problems under the calvalcade of sovereign debt horrors.

huh. So why did Spanish 10 year sovs spike to over 7% on Draghi's announcement?

Franco-nomics: bring back SEAT, jugos de fliper, and el cheapo condopffs on the Copffta del Sol. And musica de la dipffcoteca muy quesa.
Can't be "bullish" in Spain... they kill you!
Ponies?
