Iceland Referendum--New Risks, Old Story

March 04, 2010
Officials have been trying to come up with some way to avoid the weekend referendum in Iceland but it looks likely those efforts have been in vain. Polls show that nearly three-quarters of the Iceland voters will reject the deal that parliament had approved that would pay the UK and the Netherlands 3.9 bln euros (~$5.3 bln) to reimburse the third …

Greece Seeks to Save another 2% of GDP and Euro Yawns

March 03, 2010
As widely expected, Greece announced another package of savings, roughly split between tax hike and spending cuts, that projects to save another 4.8 bln euros, which is roughly 2% of GDP. The measures are harsh, but it is still too soon to expect Europe to provide anything but verbal support and solidarity. Nor can there be any money forthcoming f…

Sterling Sell-Off but No Crisis

March 01, 2010
Sterling sold off hard on Monday and had a range (according to Bloomberg data) of $1.4784-$1.5209. While such a steep sell-off is rare, they do happen more often than many headline writers and market participants seem to recall. Last year it happened several times and a review of them maybe useful.
The first time was so wicked that it took place o…

Euro Drivers

March 01, 2010
The Financial Times carried a story in the weekend edition quoting a couple analysts suggesting that the 10-year bond differentials are helping drive the euro lower. In our analysis, we have generally attributed a greater role to interest rate differentials than to external imbalances. Nevertheless, at this juncture, the interest rate differential…

Look to Sell into Sterling Bounce

March 01, 2010
While we have been decidedly sterling negative, the move is taking place much quicker than we (or any one) appears to have anticipated. Both political and economic considerations are behind sterling's slide and M&A flows are not seen as currently helpful.

Sterling is terribly oversold here and a bounce should not be surprising. This bounc…
