nh, key difference between uk and eu is: home ownership is the majority in uk while in europe its a rental mentality, so they do not benefit from property price increases (and that that entails) and you need to be aware that property demand in the uk is always different to elsewhere since space is at a premium and the island is overpopulated leading to a natural never ending increase in property prices over the long term. you have your crashes/bubbles as anywhere, but think of it a bit like the US and the interest and participation of ordinary Joe in the stockmarket. In the eu and uk the bond yield or stock market does have as much of an effect as it does in the US, hence why the eu is unlikely to ever buy bonds given it wont actually help anyone that needs helping.

The third option is simply stay static i.e. until the loan is completely repaid meaning pay all expenses including operating expenses etc but save little or nothing. when the loan is repaid their business condition may improve, 4th option with the small amount saved one can hive off a smaller business (secured with a contractual customer) which would be financed with some of the savings, would seek to improve the economic lifestyle of the borrower in some way.

Hollande is absolutely despised in France. And his agenda seems to another one: the concentration of power and control in the hands of the few. Recently he announced he's eliminating a certain number of regions in France. So we have more agglomeration going on. He's a "power to the EU" all the way. The agenda of these people is not the economy or anything they state for the media. So I wouldn't even look for him to propose anything likely to help the economy.

"Allowing the BIS to impose unreasonable restrictions on the use of brokered funds within the Basel III process would destabilize many important financial institutions and even threaten the ability of these banks to provide credit to the U.S. economy."
I think the focus on interest rates in relation to economic activity is misplaced. Basel III is more fundamental and not discussed. Much higher short term interest rates could see funds flow say to the U.S. - but we haven't got that (higher short term interest rates in the United States) and the likelihood of getting that in the short term seems to be slim. So all we are dealing with is speculative moves in reaction to more jaw boning from Central Banks.
Basel III
Paris ib 16:49 GMT June 4, 2014

nh - I have no illusions that the ECB wants to kick start the economy. The real agenda is only one: saving the Euro as a viable currency at an exchange rate they choose.
While the world struggles with Basel III - and the crippling impact that has on bank lending - interest rates won't make any difference at all, unless of course the FED decides to take short term rates much higher very quickly.

I suggest if Draghi pulls a Bernanke the EUR will fall from a lack of confidence -- as mentioned interest rate levels are not a cure BUT that it is a longer term issue because most folks think otherwise -- if draghi can't overcome opposition to simple conventional wisdom the ECB will never be able to take effective measures to push the whole EUR economy higher (fiscal side to this too of course which involves NASTY horse trading and perhaps some pain in the non- EUR EU)
Paris ib 16:28 GMT June 4, 2014
EURUSD
Draghi set the tone for the weaker EUR/USD at his last press conference. We have to see what he delivers tomorrow. The market is set up for something fairly bold. A failure to deliver is likely to see short covering in the Euro. Indeed, even if they come up with something we are likely to see short covering. The key, I suppose, will be in regard to the equivalent of what the FED is doing and what he did last time: FORWARD GUIDANCE. If he can keep the market dangling in anticipation of some future excitement he may be able to keep the weaker Euro trend going. How long for is another question altogether. We have the ECB and NFP on Friday. Volatility guaranteed.

Eurozone Headed for Japan-Like Deflation?
There are two kinds of debt - lifestyle maintenance and investment - private and public use both - public debt payable in local paper currency is money (19th century economics was based on money that had widget conversion e.g, sea shells, gold or stone wheels) - only private debt is deflationary (Fisher's error)
Low interest rates encourages hoarding, i.e., money comes out of the economy -- VAT is taxes, taxes usually reduce efficiency of local money -- This is part of the MYTH of Austerity as currently practiced in the EU
Reducing interest rates to combat deflation is a fool's game because it slows money down to the point where it disappears (hoarding)
Paris ib 15:50 GMT June 4, 2014
Eurozone Headed for Japan-Like Deflation?
Honestly there is so much more to this. In Italy for example Monti brought in this draconian tax audit regime. If you buy a car over a certain number of cylinders you AUTOMATICALLY get a tax audit. The result? Well first there is no longer a second hand market for big cars and new car sales have plummeted. Everyone is scared to spend any money in case they get a tax audit. (The fiscal police in Italy are a bit scary. They are not very educated and they treat everyone like criminals. Fines are huge and if you go to court to dispute them then at every level of appeal the fine doubles.) Bank accounts are monitored, you can't hold or use cash for transactions. The limit is 1000 euros. After that you get reported to the tax police. This has had a huge impact on real estate sales and building.... so the statistics tell you what is going on but they don't tell you WHY stuff is happening. If the Italian economy is limping there are reasons beyond what the pundits would have you believe.

Its my view that markets are now positioned the way they want to be into the ECB decision tomorrow. Rate cuts seem to be a given and another LTRO would not ruffle a lot of feathers. As for QE, Its my sense that aggressive steps are still unlikely.
Bottom-line, the market is set up for ECB ease and this leaves a lot of room for disappointment if the central bank does not surprise us.
The odd question is whether not enough action to promote growth will lead to a STRONGER EURUSD? Before the ECB follies on Thursday we get the unpredictable ADP private employment survey from the U.S. on the N.Y. open today. A strong report should be USD supportive. Street expectations for the data are modest.

As Bloomberg reports, the ISM said it will manually vet all data because it hasn�t identified why its computer software introduced an error into yesterday�s May manufacturing index. That's right: a day after its unprecedented humiliation, the ISM still has no idea how its data was "glitched" by a computer (note the use of the passive voice: there never is an actual person responsible for such glaring errors).
we share the table that SMRA sent out to subscribers which is the only place, to our knowledge, where unadjusted ISM data is available. And there you have it: the May unadjusted New Orders print was 60.5: the lowest since February while the % of respondents saying "Better" was actually tied for the lowest since January. Somehow, with the magic of seasonality this ended up being the best adjusted print of the year!
when the entire market moves due to a seasonal adjustment which makes the worst month since February into the best month of 2014, then something is very, very wrong, and certainly very manipulated.
We certainly have an idea why the ISM had zero desire to make these unadjusted numbers public in the first place.

Reuters...a long to test 180 round number in weeks to come.
Price nearing apex of a triangle after nearly 6month consolidation.
Next key resistance at 172.55.
I'll probably go long again after a break north of 173 and shoot for 179.90.
I'm +14 pips from 171.526.---short money.
If this runs out of gas. I'll close everything.
It's dancing nicely on a 21Ema and 25 Sma ...1hour chart.
