Inquiring minds might be interested to see the "Vote of No Confidence" by the market in response to the agreement that was supposed to "Save the Euro".

The brief feeling of "Hooray We're Saved" lasted from approximately 1:00AM to 2:00AM depending of course on your time zone. Regardless of time zone, the rally was 1 hour long.

The ECB's Securities Market Operation is finally cranking. After a relatively quiet summer during which the ECB would monetize at most €200 million of sovereign bonds weekly, things got rather hot in early October when a record €1.384 billion was acquired.
Mais bon, les montants restent sans commune mesure avec ceux de la FED...

Today at around 5 am Eastern Italy conducted an auction of 3 and 10 year paper. The result was a very weak auction with spreads jumping compared to the prior auction even as BTCs dropped. The Italian treasury sold €5.5 billion of the BTPs, compared with the 83.5 billion to €5.5 billion planned. It also sold €1.339 billion of the October 2017-dated floating rate bond, or CCTeu, compared with €1 billion to €1.5 billion planned. But the sale came at a steep price. The 3 Year sale of €2.5 billion 2.25% bonds closed at 2.86% compared to 2.32% prior, and a bid to cover of 1.38 compared to 1.35 previously. The yield on the 10 Year auction came at 4.43% or over half a percent higher compared to the previous auction of 3.89%, pricing at a 1.27 Bid to Cover, much worse than the 1.42 previously.
Belgian Auction results:
€0.62bln, 4.25% 28-Sep-14, bid/cover 1.79 vs. Prev. 2.24 (yield 2.288% vs. Prev. 3.839%)
€0.945bln, 3.75% 28-Sep-20, bid/cover 1.76 vs. Prev. 2.39 (yield 3.718% vs. Prev. 3.260%)
€0.435bln, 5% 28-Mar-35, bid/cover 1.79 vs. Prev. 2.38 (yield 4.157% vs. Prev. 4.816%)

Greece will have until 2021 to repay its 110 billion euro ($145.7 billion) EU/IMF bailout loan, the country's finance minister said on Monday.
In return, Greece will have to pay a higher fixed interest rate of about 5.8 percent from 5.5 percent, George Papaconstantinou told reporters.
"The repayment, which was now until 2015, will go to 2021 ... we have a grace period of four years and a repayment period of seven years," Papaconstantinou said. "The decision is very important, it opens the way to return to markets earlier than expected."

Goodbye Irish Sovereignty: EU Commissioner Olli Rehn Issues His First Directive As Overlord Of The Emerald Isle

"In an interview with RTÉ News, Commissioner Rehn said it did not want to involve himself in democratic politics in Ireland, but he said: 'They are key parts of the programme so I would not advise re-opening these'." In other words, despite hating to do so, Rehn is now supreme dictator of Ireland, and the nation must do his every bidding if it wishes to not receive the Mutual Assured Destruction treatment and not get any banker Holiday greetings cards this year.
As to why bankers once again get away scot free, here it is: Mutual Assured Destruction:
Mr Rehn denied there was any difference of opinion between the ECB, the European Commission and the IMF on whether or not senior bondholders should be 'burned' in the Irish banking sector.
He said senior debt would not be jeopardised, otherwise there could be the risk of further contagion in the system.
Comme en Irlande ou en Hongrie, où les fonds de retraite ont été saisis pour rembourser la dette, la France fait de même avec le fonds de réserve pour les retraites de Jospin :

L’état français saisit (discrètement) le Fonds de Réserve des Retraites

Selon cet article de Financial News, le Fonds de Réserve des Retraites a été intégralement versé au crédit de la CADES et continuera de gérer cet argent, de loin, en tant que tierce partie, pour la CADES. Ce qui fait tout de même 36 milliards d’euros qui disparaissent du FRR pour venir boucher une partie d’un trou.
En gros, on utilise des fonds destinés à la gestion de long terme pour remplir des gros trous et des gentils déficits de court terme. Ça ressemble à s’y méprendre à la récente ponction par le gouvernement irlandais des 24 milliards d’euros du National Pension Reserve Fund pour alimenter le programme budgétaire courant.

Following Hungary And Ireland, France Is Next To Seize Pension Funds

If the recent Hungarian "appropriation" of pension funds, and today's laughable Irish bailout courtesy of domestic pension funds sourcing 20% of the "new" money was not enough to convince the world just how bankrupt the entire European experiment has become, enter France. Financial News explains how France has "seized" €36 billion worth of pension assets: "Asset managers will have the chance to get billions of euros in mandates in the next few months for the €36bn Fonds de Réserve pour les Retraites (FRR), the French reserve pension fund, after the French parliament last week passed a law to use its assets to pay off the debts of France’s welfare system. The assets have been transferred into the state’s social debt sinking fund Cades. The FRR will continue to control the assets, but as a third-party manager on behalf of Cades." FN condemns the action as follows: "The move reflects a willingness by governments to use long-term assets to fill short-term deficits, including Ireland’s announcement last week that it would use the country’s €24bn National Pensions Reserve Fund “to support the exchequer’s funding programme” and Hungary’s bid to claw $15bn of private pension funds back to the state system."

Spain’s banks may struggle to refinance about 85 billion euros ($111 billion) in debt next year as costs surge on concern continental Europe’s fourth- biggest economy may need an Irish-style bailout.
“There’s a universal dumping of Spain going on,” said Andrea Williams, who helps manage about 623 million pounds ($968 million), including shares in Banco Santander SA, at Royal London Asset Management. “The fear is that Portugal, Spain and Italy are now in line after what happened in Ireland.”
