Daily review 12/06/12
Declines recorded in Asia today (Tuesday), after a reversal trend in Europe and on Wall Street during yesterday’s trading session following the rapid disenchantment of investors optimism after the announcement of the rescue package to banks in Spain.
New - York trading opened yesterday in prices increases but closed in negative.
Wall Street closed in prices decrease yesterday, after the positive sentiment in light of the rescue package for Spain dissipated, and after the news that the vice chairman of the Spanish central bank resigned and the yield on Spanish bonds continued to rise.
One of the reasons that cause investors to panic in global markets from the rescue plan to banks in Spain, is a simple question: from where the money will come?
Regarding the debt crisis, more important is what the bondholders think about the issue, than what investors think.
In the case of Spain, there was a concern among many investors - selling Spanish and Italian bonds from the beginning of this week, raising the Spanish bond yields of 10 years to over 6.4%.
Spanish bond yields rose yesterday by 23 basis points to 6.42%, while many wonder whether the money for the rescue package will come from- European stabilization mechanism (ESM) or the temporary rescue fund (EFSF).
After approval of the rescue package to banks in Spain, European spotlight moves to the third-largest economy on the continent: Italy.
Many believe that Italy, which holds government debt of 2 trillion euros and higher bond yields (ranging around 5-6% in recent months), will eventually need outside assistance in order to serve its debts.
