Interest Rate Snapshot
A couple of good news from Greece over the weekend, nevertheless support from the creditors is needed, who must give 30 billion euros to bailout. An article in the independent saying that Greece’s lenders will pass judgment today on its austerity measures. The odds of a sovereign debt default is now said to be a 50:50 possibility. FED: Steve Beckner wrote overnight that, although the Fed officials talk about eventual need to tighten monetary policy, they aren’t signalling tightening is coming soon. Going to be very interesting to hear Bernanke’s speech on Tuesday entitled “The Economic outlook”! In Europe we got the ECB policy meeting on Thursday which is the other highlight of the week, Trichet is expected to indicate a rate hike in July, many suspect he uses the threat of rate hikes to pressure politicians into making a compromise, pressure will certainly be needed in negotiations over the coming weeks. On the futures front we will have a quiet opening, nevertheless the significant downward pressure we have seen at the end of last week makes a test of the support area around 124.96 a possibility today, also given the news stream over the weekend, we must hold above that level to keep the bullish sentiment in place, 125.89-97 is
the level of target on the topside followed by 126.94. A break to the downside would jeopardize long positions and a drop down to 124.10 can not be excluded.
