Remember when we said March would be the cruellest month for Europe? http://www.zerohedge.com/article/will-m ... lest-month Looks like someone did, at least on a NPV basis, and is now preparing for the next phase of the European Crisis. According to Newedge, there is very large selling on dealer screens in "all kinds of bonds: Spain, Italy, and France." It seems at least one trader is not waiting around to see what the Irish stress test results indicate, and the expectation is that, as Bloomberg noted earlier, http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-03-3 ... nding.html bondholder haircuts will be fast and furious.

Today should be fun.

Two rather unpleasant headlines for the Old World from Reuters:

• There has been disagreement in ECB governing council over new liquidity facility

• ECB will not announce plans for a new liquidity facility to help Irish banks on Thursday
EURUSD has now erased all of the CPI-beat gains. Bond selling picking up.

More as we see it.
