Quote from benwm:

France perhaps...OATs very strong this week, and again today.



Yep, and Germany borrowing at zero...

Gillian Tett arguing that the euro zone's inherent advantages as a single currency bloc are basically already shot.

But those flows aren't leaving the euro -- just going elsewhere within the bloc.

As another explanation, one could argue for a general collapse in lending activity and monetary velocity as business conditions seize up -- but that's different than outflow, and arguably self-correcting on resolution / increased export competitiveness as euro declines.

"Perhaps more interestingly, the main reason behind the negative overall portfolio flows was the activity of eurozone investors, who bought €60bn of foreign assets, mainly bonds and money market instruments. This is the largest foreign investments in almost 1.5 years."

And this was MARCH data

I was talking to someone in construction today and he told me our markets are being swamped with Germans willing to work at half the price of minimum wage here and falsely be registered as cleaning staff.

So I guess this makes Germans the new Mexicans.

Lower safe haven real yields in Europe just makes the US look more attractive in a relative basis. Thus encouraging flows into USD instead of EUR

these same investors might represent the same idiot mentality that bought into the real estate bonds and got taken,then the whole setup was blamed on subprime mortgages, no one knew what these cds's were,i doubt anyone knows what these(foriegn assets) derivatives are either and when they all get taken, it will be blamed on the greeks,one big ponzi after another
