Italian CDS rates. Pasta is cooking just fine. Investors will soon be served with Spatalia lasagna... I hope they'll be having solid appetite to stomach the broth to wash it down their throats.

Standard bank SA... The bankster fight by mainstreet is now global.



http://gosouthonline.co....he-minister-of-finance/

Quote:
Tellinger is a South African businessman fed up with banking practices in the country. Looking at the posts of support, he is not alone by a long stretch. In fact, he’s so fed up he has just filed his 1,100-page notice of motion against Standard Bank in the Constitutional Court, accusing the bank of “unlawful and unconstitutional activity”.

He also served the notice on the Reserve Bank and the Minister of Finance, alleging they are jointly and consciously implicated in the “unscrupulous and devious activity” that has led to “unimaginable financial hardship of the South African people”.


Basically this SA petition is similar to what Jerome Daly brought forward in 1969 against the a particular bank in the US.

EA CFOs don't like the high interest rate regime as well as the volatile currencies and high inflation. They remain bearish on the economy outlook.

Spanish bond yields at euro era highs. Espana investors are shivering after bankia's nationalization. 10yr yield above 6% aiming for 7% making the bailout alarm to go off. Eurocrats houdini moment to the rescue or will they with Italy closely behind...

Meanwhile US 10 year bond yield hit a 60yr low as global investors flee to the dollar. The same is happening to the German 10yr bund as investors flee euroland eurobonds. This will see a strong USD vs Euro for a while until this behaviour reverses... And should the ECB cut its fund rate to stimulate the sqeaky euroland economies, that euro will bleed heavily.

Brazil cuts fund rate to record low as their economy limps signalling more easying on the way to massage the economy. This year the BRIC econs are taking it in the chin as euroland crisis unravels.

Wow! This is quite something. Axa a french insurance group stopped buying Spatalia (spain & italy) bonds several months ago. They also stopped a few years back on Greece. So if an insurer is avoiding spatalia bonds, goodluck ECB & Spatalia citizens.

Spatalian CDS rates keep rising... Sovereign default insurance getting expensive by the day.


Spanish 5yr CDS rate - this one is already rocketing to new record highs.



Italian 5yr CDS rate - soon to test record highs and surpass them as the euro drama accelerates...


Quote:
Ultimately, investors fear that the eurozone’s No. 4 economy behind Germany, France and Italy could need a bailout of the entire nation. Many believe that would be too big to handle because Spain’s economy is bigger than those of Greece, Ireland and Portugal together.

Very glad to see brent taking it in the chin. Hope it breaks below $100. Who needs expensive oil with a limping global economy taking large knocks for a sinking eurozone...



Btw does this mean the persian faceoff has run out of steam?

Stated on May 5th. Brent below $100 handle. Wish I had shorted it, but that persian war cry kept me off.

This is good for importing nations, but with KES slipping badly this month, not good for fuel prices.

Getting in today at BGZ ETF at $20.80. This is a contra play for the looming correction on the DJIA. A bit risky for now, but I like the fact that Dow is floating towards 14K on vapour volume which is unsustainable.

March 23rd fast approaches smile

@alibaba - I hope you got into BGZ. Since March 22nd its now 25.5% up. This would have helped hedge positions in US markets. I still expect it to test $30-32 in coming weeks as per weekly chart pattern. Only then can I see equities as heavily oversold.

With S&P closing @1278 it's now below SMA 200. Classic bear signal. DJIA is now negative for the year despite all those 14,000 points hype merry calls back in March 2012.

The target for USD index is likely 87-90. At those levels
the FED will most likely intervene to stem off the USD strength.

I can see you still an oil bear like me smile

I hope the price drowns to $60 - $70/bbl or lower. The oil cartel has lost it with trying to rocket prices with very ugly global economic status since 2009. They should be sued for global economy sabotage!?
