A New Broom At Treasury?

January 28th, 2010 admin

While the entire market (at least in London) appeared to be on Greece death watch yesterday, those pesky Hellenes have thus far lieved to fight (or at least to trade) another day. That March 2010 CDS got paid up yesterday is hardly a good sign, though whether the purchaser possesses inside information or simply a desire to push Greece towards the brink is thus far uncertain. Omitted from yesterday’s post on DC fireworks was, of course, mention of the …

Another day, another bout of troubling news on Greece- the German business lobby is now calling for Greece to lose all EU voting priviliges until they sort themselves out, and Martin Feldstein is calling for a cheeky tactical exit and 30% currency realignmen t. Dr. Feldstein is almost certainly displaying a bit of naivete in his apparent belief...

Chinese Yuan Still Pegged, and US Treasury Purchases Continue
It’s still anyone’s guess as to if and when China will allow the Yuan (RMB) to continue appreciating. You can see from the chart below – which shows the trading history for the RMB/USD December 2010 futures contract – that expectations of revaluation have eroded steadily since December 2009. At that time, it was projected...

Understanding the Greece Situation
With this post, I want to try to clarify the Greek fiscal crisis. The problem is that it’s not clear exactly how serious the problem is, because most of the media coverage of the crisis has been directed towards the financial markets’ perception of it, rather than its underlying fundamentals. In the end, I think it’s important...

Man, this Greek saga (myth? legend?) just rumbles on and on and on, doesn’t it? The last 24 hours has seen a raft of developments, from a) yet another austerity package announcement (insert joke about the newly Spartan lifestyle of Greek civil servants here.) b) The IMF (Greece’s future partner in reform) welcomed the announcement....

A Greek Tragedy?
A Greek Tragedy?
The good news is that the snow has finally started to melt. The bad news is that the precipitation hasn’t stopped; we’ve just reverted to the usual miserable rain. Still, it’s said that misery loves company, and while there is tragically an all-too-real wellspring of misery in Haiti in the purely financial sphere there is plenty...
