Catnip,

Time for a discussion on what a risk free rate is in the current environment?
:))

Seriously though, I would presume this must be something rather technical. CDS contracts are thing of their own, there are contracts out there for sovereigns that DON'T have any sovereign debt.

Just a thought

DO all those buying gold and silver in droves today know something about Portugal that we don't yet ? :)

Also, Ashraf,

Looking at the steepeners, 2y10y and, especially seemingly topping 2y30y, one would presume this rally has less than a month life support left to it. Would you agree?

Ashraf, what's the story with the Euro, gold and silver today?

Up on all cylinders? Eur/chf up to 1.31?

ECB drained actually liquidity from the market, plus the pro rate hike retorics is back.
But watch Portugal yields! ABove 7 per cent! If this does not come down shortly, a story of Greece and Ireland to be revisited as that's unsustainable

Watch US yields! Both, long term and short term.

I think this is something worth a note. Markets are in defiance of the Fed's stance!
