Moody's predicts softer EU GDPs in 2013
Following comments from Moody’s about Greece struggling to be back on a sustainable debt path, also adding that they see high odds of Greek default on privately held debt, the rating agency hit back again on Thursday, this time to remind Eurozone countries that growth for 2013 is expected to be meager. According to Moody's, the Euro zone GDP is expected to rise 0.2% next year, with France GDP projection at 0.4%, Germany to show a 1.2% increase, while contractions in the tune of 4.2% and 1.5% are expected in Greece and Spain respectively. If Greece leaves the euro zone, the EU GDP would fall 4.5%, Moody’s forecasts.
An official from the Greek finance ministry announced on Wednesday plans of hiring Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley to carry out the voluntary bond buyback. He affirmed that Deutsche Bank would take on the role of the principal supervisor, but would work closely together with Morgan Stanley. This decision comes after the EU and the IMF reached an agreement on conducting a debt repurchase aimed at reducing Greek debt to sustainable levels. Details of the buyback will be announced next week by the Greek debt management agency. As it has almost run out of money, the Greek government proposed that it would borrow 10 billion euros from the EFSF, which would allow it to buy 30 billion euros worth of debt, reducing thus its outstanding obligations by 20 billion euros. Greece still hasn't decided at what price it will offer the bond buyback to private holders of bonds.-FXstreeet.com

Spain makes formal request for EU funds to recapitalize ailing banks
Spain has formally requested aid for its ailing banking sector on Monday. 36.5 billion euros of bailout funds, including 2.5 billion euros for the “bad bank", are due to be released on December 12. Four nationalized Spanish banks will be the recipients of the funds: 18 billion will go to Bankia; 9 billion to CatalunyaBanc, 5 billion to Nova Caixa Galicia; 4.5 billion to Banco de Valencia. The release of the aid is expected to be approved by the Eurogroup during their monthly meeting today in the European afternoon.
Even though it is not the full sovereign bailout request awaited by the markets, the news caused the euro to spike to the 1.3075 region, a new six-week high against the dollar. - FXstreet.com

No breakthrough on banking union due to Franco-German dispute
A clash between France and Germany over banking supervision in the Eurozone prevented the Eurogroup from reaching an agreement on the EU banking union on Tuesday. EU finance ministers decided to hold an additional meeting on December 12, just ahead of the EU summit on December 13, by which time a deal on the banking union needs to be made. France and Germany are divided over the scope of ECB's powers as the Eurozone bank supervisor. France pushes for a solution in which the central bank would regulate all the financial institutions in the region, while Germany would like smaller banks to be excluded from this supervision. Berlin is also not too keen on seeing a full banking union formed that quickly, as it fears it will be obliged to pay for potential future banking losses in other Member States.
German finance minister Wolfgang Schäuble commented on France's proposition saying that there was no possibility for the central bank to supervise so many financial institutions, while his French counterpart Pierre Moscovici stated that the EU cannot introduce a system of dual supervision."We have no mandate for a dual system of supervision which would call into question the existence of a single system for some banks," the French finance minister argued. - FXstreet.com

S&P downgrades Greece to selective default
In an unsurprising headline, reflected by the marginal losses in EUR/USD since the news broke, the rating agency S&P has downgraded Greece's long-term debt rating to selective default from CCC. Greece is technically default. The Greek government invitation to private sector bondholders involvement to participate in the debt buybacks program triggered the decision by S&P. However, according to Jamie McGeever, Editor and presenter at Reuters TV, "once Greek buyback is done, probably on or around Dec 17, selective default will be over, so S&P will likely lift Greece back to CCC rating."
British Chancellor George Osborne delivered his Autumn Budget Statement before the parliament on Wednesday. He emphasized that the Eurozone debt crisis had been weighing on the UK economy and informed that the Office of Budget Responsibility slashed its GDP forecast to -0.1% in 2012 from +0.8%. The predictions for 2012 and 2013 are 1.2% and 2.0%, respectively. - FXstreet.com

ECB, Berlusconi Hit EURUSD Hard
Lower by 0.73% in the morning session, the EURUSD is being weighed down by major developments in Europe. Specifically, sparks of political instability in one of the troubled EU members, as well as a pessimistic outlook on Europe’s growth potential is making it difficult for traders to be bullish the Euro. The sentiment has traders and technicians eyeing the 1.2900 as the next viable support barrier. Although leaving the benchmark interest rate at 0.75% early in the morning, the European Central Bank issued a dour note when it came time to assess the economic future of the European Union. In a post decision press conference, ECB President Mario Draghi noted that significant headwinds had placed pressure on a potential regional recovery. So much so that growth prospects for next year were forecasted lower, with the 17-member Union looking to either remain unchanged or contract slightly. Official estimates now lie between a 0.3% pace of growth and a 0.9% contraction in 2013.
Additionally, Draghi noted that “available statistics and survey indicators continue to signal further weakness in activity in the last quarter of the year”.This isn’t seen as favorable for the Euro, which was expecting a slight recovery in the European Union next year – at a pace of 0.5%. - FXstreet.com

Italian PM Monti announces intention to resign; early elections likely in February
The political news coming from Italy, in which current primer minister Mario Monti plans to resign once the 2013 budget goes through parliament and is approved, are not sitting well with the Euro, as investors anticipate it may lead to a new chapter in the EU crisis. The prospects of higher Italian bond yields when Europe opens weighs on the Euro. The Italian general elections, upon final confirmation, will likely be celebrated in February. Former primer minister Silvio Berlusconi is to run as centre-right candidate, and with the threat of an 'Il Cavaliere'-led anti-euro campaign looming, traders have logically turned cautious. The leading centre-left PD party is still in control, with Berlusconi's centre-right PDL behind by over 16 points.
According to NAB: "Prospects of Italian bond yields spiking higher when Europe opens is driving the euro lower. EUR bears would though do well to note that the People of Liberty party currently trails the centre-left Democratic party by 20% points. Plus, the re-appearance of Mr Berlusconi to the centre of the Italian political stage may well prompt Mr Monti to make him himself available for re-selection as PM after elections now seen likely to occur next February, three months earlier than originally intended." - FXstreet.com

Silvio Berlusconi Makes Trouble For EURUSD Bulls
Although the single currency is higher on the day, it’s abundantly clear that the recent resignation by Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti is keeping Euro bulls at bay. The prime minister is now scheduled to step down following the 2013 budget vote taking place before the end of the year – instead of serving till April of next year. The announcement changes the political landscape of the largest of the troubled peripheral nations, and will likely add to recent pessimism when it comes to the single currency. However, with public discontent over recent austerity and tax increases rising, many of Monti’s previous allies have fallen away. In particular, former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and his People of Freedom (PDL) party, have become disenchanted with the current administration. The sentiment was heightened last week when representatives of the PDL walked out of an economic reform vote – calling for a vote of no-confidence in the prime minister. The notion was unfortunately backed by several other members of the Democratic Party – Monti’s major backer in the political arena.
With Monti’s final resignation to come in the next few weeks, it will be up to Italian President Giorgio Napolitano to dissolve parliament, and either appoint a successor or keep Monti as the country’s PM. General elections will follow, placing the date somewhere in February 2013 at the earliest. - FXstreet.com

Greek banks tender rest of Greek debt holdings to help reach buyback target
According to reports, Greece has reached the bond buyback target at 31.5 billion euros on Tuesday. The deadline for submitting bids was extended by one more day yesterday, due to the inability to reach the expected 30 billion euros by initial deadline which ended on December 7 at 17:00 GMT. Greek banks probably tendered the total amount of the Greek debt they hold in order to help cover the difference between the 26.5 billion euros received last Friday and the the expected 30 billion euros. This means that the EU and the IMF will now be able to unblock the next bailout tranche for the indebted country.
Spain held a debt auction on Tuesday during which it managed to sell 3.89 billion euros of 12- and 18 -month government bods, above the targeted 3.5 billion euros. 2.39 billion euros of 12-month bills were auctioned at an average yield of 2.556%, down from 2.797% seen at the previous auction. The bid to cover ratio was at 2.46, compared with the previous 2.12. 1.5 billion euros of 18-month bonds were sold at an average yield of 2.778% versus 3.034%. The bid to cover ratio was at 2.7 from 5.72 seen previously.

After the agreement among EU finance ministers to allow the ECB to supervise banks in the Euro-zone, a stream of follow-up headlines continues via Reuters, saying that the ECB new supervisory role should be up and running by end of 2013. Decision was unanimous, EU’s Commissioner Faull said. Meanwhile, French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovic notes, via Reuters: “ECB will supervise 3 biggest banks in each country, with the Euro area to have uniform banking rules.” He also added that “the ECB supervision is first step to Euro banking union…”
Schaeuble, German FinMin said to Reuters reporters “the EU wants the ECB oversight in full in 2014″, with other parallel comments from officials saying ECB supervisor “should help break bank-sovereign link.” – FXstreet.com

Leaders debate EMU consolidation after bank supervision deal
In order to achieve the completion of EMU, the 27-countries bloc made further progress on the roadmap to achieve such goals, after the agreement for a Euro bank supervisor by the ECB earlier on the week, which will police north of 200 flagship banks.Today's European leaders meeting, which again concluded over 2 hours past midnight Brussels time, showed some understandable differences on how to go about the next critical steps, such as a banking resolution, measure to reduce country's deficit and a budget for the whole bloc. One of the notorious opposed members to see mutualisation of the debts after the ECB bank's oversight role, was German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who continues to play it safely against passing new liabilities for German taxpayers ahead of next year's national elections.
As Reuters notes, "a German delegation source said that in the summit room, she opposed a joint resolution fund for banks at this stage and rejected any big "fiscal capacity" to help euro zone states cope with economic shocks or reward them for structural reforms. Instead, she said EU countries should concentrate on consolidating their own budgets, according to notes of the meeting and an account provided by one participant." Merkel, once out of the official meeting, told reporters that the bank union deal was a 'very important' decision taken by the EZ leaders, and that such agreement paves the way for future positive developments of a currency union. On the transaction tax, she suspects a solidarity fund for Euro zone states with limits 10 to 20 billion Euros. - https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/14122012/
