EUR
Discuss EUR in this thread
The dangerous point is TARGET thus with an uncontrolled repo market the ECB holds Bundesbank hostage. But ist only consequent the EU has an official for every poop and one official for every sneeze so why not as many clearing houses?
Its looking like an eu rate cut is now off the table, doesn't fit the financial engineering ?
SHORT-TERM EUROPEAN PAPER (STEP) market. "Die Welt" a paper usually deeply dedicated and devoted to Merkel Schauble and Schauble's intimate buddy at ECB board,Asmussen , published an essay saying that ECB has no control over STEP market resulting in 1300 bln uncontrolled not backed ( only by STEPs) loans to banks while ECB's buying of sovereign debt amounts to a mere 200 bln.
That isn't anything new at all but I wonder what may be going on
if an ultra conservative comes up with that now. It can be compared to the official organ of US rifle shooters club saying that guns are in some sense harmful to health
