How many of you thought, "Brandt is a total conspiracy nut!" when I said yesterday that the successful Italian/Spanish bond auctions were almost certainly manipulated so Draghi wouldn't be faced with tough questions in his press Q&A after the ECB's rate decision yesterday?
Well what a difference 1 day makes when Draghi isn't faced with a cornucopia of reporters.
Italian 10 year yields have shot up from 6.45% yesterday to 6.80 today
Spanish Debt- from 5.05% to 5.26%
And for those who think it's because of the rumors of an impending S&P downgrade, those rumors were alive and well yesterday.
Is interest rates about to start going up?

Yes, I know - it does not make any sense - FED is about to cut
rates...but....real world interest rates are not always what FED wants it
to be.
