Europe

While in the US market breaks practically always happen when the market is sharply lower, and are intended to halt any downward momentum, in Europe this simple relationship has yet to be perfected, and for the past hour, following what it announced were technical issues, the Deutsche Boerse-owned Eurex derivatives exchange where futures on such indices as the DAX and Switzerland trade, has suspended trading in its T7 system "until futher notice."

Sellers will just have to wait.

The use of the US military overseas seems to have become so commonplace that the Obama Administration can bomb a country with no Congressional input and very little media interest at all. Such was the case on Friday, when the US military killed some 49 people in a bombing run near Tripoli, Libya.

Last month, we documented the burgeoning spat between Brussels and Poland over the latter’s move to approve new laws that allow the conservative (and eurosceptic) Law and Justice (PiS) government to name the chiefs of public TV and radio, and select judges for Poland's constitutional court.

In response to a bloc-wide backlash, Polish minister Zbigniew Ziobro sent a letter to EU commissioner Gunther Oettinger in which Ziobro dismissed criticism of the new laws as “silly.”

Having shown that the world is turning Japanese with tales of economic malaise, extreme monetary policy, and negative rates, Visual Capitalist's Jeff Desjardins shows that Germany, with its 5-yr government bond currently trading at a -0.33% yield, is no exception to this story. However, negative yields are not the only concern that the country has in common with Japan.
