Why would Catalonia have a debt crisis any greater than Madrid?

After all, bankrolling Madrid is one of the beefs that they are complaining about.

For reasons I cannot get my head around, The Telegraph, the champion of Boris speak and strongly pro brexit, seems to take an entirely different view of the Catalans seeking independence.

The headline af a Telegraph article on the issue yesterday, which was clearly pro Spain and anti Catalan, read:

"What an independent Catalonia could look like: debt crisis, closed borders, and immigrants fleeing the country"

Its stance would be understandable if it had ever posted a headline which expressed a similar view about Britain's push for independence from the EU.

Which kind of makes me wonder whether the Telegraph fantasises of a Britain governed by an extreme right wing party, where law & order are an end which justifies any means.

Spanish banks had a torrid day yesterday. The Spanish, it appears are taking all of this more seriously than the rest of Europe.

At some point, the rest of Europe may actually sit up and take notice.

North Korean worries may be replaced by Spanish worries.

The uncrossing trade was priced at the bid price. It takes both buyers and seller to make an uncrossing trade.

The high volume merely reflects that there were buyers and sellers interested in trading a large volume of shares at that price.

At last TM has announced one positive move!


Britain’s largest energy suppliers have taken a beating on the FTSE 100 as Prime Minister Theresa May announced plans to move ahead with legislating an energy price cap.

A draft bill outlining the legislation required to push through the market-wide intervention will be published in Parliament next week in order to bring “an end to rip off energy prices once and for all”.

The cap is likely to target standard variable tariffs which are used by 15 million homes, many of which are on the default deal because they have never switched to one of the energy deals on the market which offer better value.

Eurozone economy continues to power ahead

Just in: Europe’s economic recovery strengthened further last month, indicating that it continues to grow faster than the UK.

That’s according to data firm Markit. Its monthly PMI survey of companies across the region has jumped to 56.7 in September, up from 55.7 in August, which shows the fastest growth in four months.

Germany, Ireland and France led the way, with firms reporting that output expanded and new orders surged. Job creation was also strong, rising at almost the fastest rate in a decade.

The City is now being operated as a binary bet on data releases.

That is no way to run a country and no way to run a stock market.

Services PMI comes in a touch better than forecast.

See the charts above for the effect.
