Angela Merkel should have been waking up this morning to beautiful sunshine and headlines stating that she had saved the Euro. Unfortunately, that would have been the case back in July when the initial proposal for increasing the EFSF was announced, but that was before Spain and Italy were dragged in to Sovereign debt crisis.

Hope has this morning evaporated that the Euro zone is close to finding a solution to the Sovereign debt crisis. Yesterday, I commented on speculation that there would be a three pronged attack involving the ECB, EFSF and Private Bond Holders. But, each of these prongs has now been bent out of shape by statements [...]

This Wednesday will see the release of the minutes from the last Bank of England meeting;
To cut a long story short the markets will be interested in if there were still any votes for a an interest rate rise (more votes is good for GBP versus other currencies) and if there were any votes on [...]

Euro zone Finance ministers gathered in Poland over the weekend – the hope was that a solution would be found to the Sovereign debt crisis, which threatens to bring an end to the single currency. However, yet again another meeting of European leaders only managed to create panic in the markets.
Timothy Geithner, the US Treasury [...]

Rumours have surfaced overnight that Italy has asked China to buy Italian debt. The news has boosted stocks and the Euro, as risk sentiment improved on the back of the news. However, the article in the Wall Street Journal stated that Italy was ‘hoping’ China would buy ‘large amounts’ of Italian debt, and does not [...]
