5-Apr-12 World View -- Female suicide bomber attacks Somalia
Re: 5-Apr-12 World View -- Female suicide bomber attacks Som
Whatever collapses the European economy, I believe that it'll be triggered either by Spain or Italy. Smaller countries like Greece can be contained, provided you pour hundreds of billions of dollars into it, and we've decided to do just that. Spain's unemployment is where ours was in 1933, so they may as well have already collapsed.

In the short term, printing money and buying bonds can drive up the value of bonds and lower interest rates. But in the longer term, printing money reduces the value of money and so reduces the value of bonds and raises interest rates. So the short term effect is fighting the long term effect. As they keep upping the amounts they print it is like they are fighting harder against the long term effect. It is sort of pushing harder and harder against a spring to hold it down. When things snap they can get really ugly.John wrote:The ECB has poured an eye-watering €1.1 trillion of "printed" money into the European banking system, so that European banks could loan the money to businesses, and could drive down Spain's and Italy's bond yields (interest rates) by becoming a major purchaser of those bonds. But, as has happened every single time with one of these "nuclear options," the plan works for a while and the fails.
