Spain's IBEX equity index is down 2% today - the largest drop in three weeks - after touching the 200DMA on Monday and turning down (-3.3%). The equity market - which appears to be trading like nothing more than an upside call on any potential for survivability (and is 'helped' by a short-selling ban) - remains notably rich to its relatively less-ebullient sovereign bond market - which suggests a minimum downside of 6-7% more - just to shake off the exuberance. Yes, the short-end has done better, roll risk aside, but today 2Y is 9bps wider as the 5Y CDS is 13bps wider and 10Y spread 15bps wider. Is Draghi's 'Eurhopium' dream wearing off?
