Yep, but I really question the fundamental reasons behind it. Ben printed, ECB didn't (they did some, but not nearly as much). So, default in Europe is more of a possibility in Europe. However, what does printing do to a currency? Is devaluation a form of default on the government bonds? I do think it is. It was somewhat concealed in the US, since the bulk of the Quantitative Easing was directed at the mortgage market, and the Fed emphasized many times that they will sterilize the printing in due time (which is questionable, at least to me). The answer is, computer models took over these markets and are trading them sans price discovery, so far.
