My own thinking is that an ECB rate hike will affect bond yields across the short and long ends of the yield curve, hence "cost of equity capital" rates go up which is negative for equity valuations. The Euro economy is over 15 trillion dollars so any slowdown in euro growth even by fractions of a % can affect commodity prices.
As to fading junkie, we all learn by constant repetition receiving punishment. Mkt is good teacher but very saw ass from kick ass before we see daylight. Sorry to be patronising.
We can expect continued volatility on EU etc for next 24 hrs.
