7th Nov - US Open: € Well Offered



 Euro selling off, for several reasons: 

  • we had a break to the downside from a technical range
  • Greece votes on austerity measures (risk of losing further bailouts)
  • Spain's budget forecasts are based on growth forecasts that nobody, including the European Commission, believes anymore
  • Bad growth numbers overall -> debt defaults approaching

The vote that counts for marketsMacroScope / Reuters
Greek parliament votes today on austerity (Troika insists). Expectation is a deal with two years more time, maturity extension and interest rate cut. European Commission sees Spain unable to meet deficit targets as the recession is deepening.

A sunset clause for Europe's banking unionBruegel
The final shape of the European banking union should therefore look differently from what is currently on the table. It should be based on a strong supervisor who can be held to account by a strong parliament, but who takes decisions independently of monetary policy.
