Europe leaders announce plans for single financial supervisor; euro rallies
06/28/2012 10:57:42 PM

 

[ThingyMajiggy]

European leaders have agreed to use the continent's permanent bailout fund to recapitalize struggling banks, and agreed to the idea of a tighter union in the long term.

The bank decision at overnight meetings in Brussels on Friday was aimed at helping Spain, which sought a (euro) 100 billion rescue to help its troubled banks and is facing rising borrowing costs.

EU President Herman Van Rompuy called it a "breakthrough that banks can be recapitalized directly."
He said leaders of the 17-nation eurozone also agreed to a joint banking supervisory body.
He said the leaders of the full 27-member European Union agreed to a general long-term plan for a tighter budgetary and political union.

Quite the reaction!

Haha same here, was JUST about to get up to go eat something then all hell breaks loose, our bonds dropped pretty much 15 ticks straight down, with an average range of about 4 ticks a day it was quite a sell off. Nabbed some SPI so was lucky.

Be interesting to see what happens from now on...

Shorting from Europe's open would be the right play if history was a guide...

Thanks for the ideas guys...my Briefing.com subby runs out on Sept 01...as does my promise to my wife to be profitable in 12 months

IBIS looks ok and you can customize it...should be able to configure for what i need for 20-50 per month I'd reckon. Its an add-on to TWS too, so I'm keeping thing together.

Caught a nice pop off that first consolidation after the big move...makes me feel like i wasn't quite so 'left out'...lol!

Surely there is a half decent chat <something> that can be used ie yahoo, google etc instead of a forum thread?? A few of us did it a few years ago on here through Yahoo. Any takers?
