If we crossed through some spacetime vortex that brought us back in time just two short months ago, to July of this year, today's confirmation that the second Greek bailout has now failed, following the Finnish finance minister's comments that the country will defy Germany and will not give in to demands to abandon its deal for Greek collateral, which in turn has sent the Greek 2 year bond bidless, its yield up 227 bps to an all time record 46.38%, would have been enough to send the futures and the EURUSD plunging. Not today. Instead, the EURUSD soared to a high of 1.4475 overnight, on two things that indicate no marginal improvement in the situation, but no deterioration either, namely: that the ECB continued to buy Italian and Spanish bonds, pushing their spreads to Bunds tighter on the day, and since tighter is the opposite of wider, the market can safely stick its head under the sand. zerohedge.com
