Will Schengen hold? The agreement may not see light of day when this crisis is over. Fed cuts FFR by 100bps points ahead of schedule in an attempt to stem the bleeding. Not looking good as spreads widen for treasuries and cross currency swaps. Full blown dollar liquidity crisis.
CBs have shown up with a knife to a gunfight...tough luck.
These first world CBs may print themselves into hyperinflation if this keeps up.The sheer number of the money printing liquidity jobs just keep getting bigger to unprecedented levels.I expect this QE to be stepped up aggressively and repo jobs to still continue in their trillions.
I forsee the Fed getting a mandate by Congress to just outright buy stocks and corporate bonds.Its already under discussion behind the scenes.Japanese and Swiss central banks already doing it and I suspect the Fed will join this ludicrous policy and European Central Bank already buys corporate bonds and may join the rest in purchasing Euro stocks.
