Greece bailout package 'agreed by Germany and France'

The deal will also involve the International Monetary Fund and is expected to include 22 billion euros of funding for Greece, sources said.

It is now up to European Union President Herman Van Rompuy to call a summit of eurozone leaders possibly later tonight to consider the French-German deal, after talks attended by all 27 European Union heads of state.

The meeting would ask Van Rompuy to draw up detailed plans “before year end to show all the options possible” for bailing out eurozone nations in future. That would include preventive measures and sanctions, a diplomat said.

Spanish government spokeswoman Cristina Gallach said she could not confirm any deal but that Spain – which heads most European Union talks because it holds the EU’s rotating presidency – was “hopeful” that a solution could be found at the talks for Greece’s debt woes.

German economic optimism on the rise in August

BNEWSGermans are feeling much better than expected about their economy, with the just-released ZEW sentiment index giving a reading of 42, up from 36.3 in July.

The Zew Institute’s Current Conditions Index rose even more – to 18.3 from 10.6 in July.

Analysts expected readings of 40 and 12 respectively for the two indices and sentiment is at its highest since March.

The institute comments that the “first signs of an end to the recession in important Eurozone countries may have contributed to the indicator’s rise…. furthermore, the economic optimism is supported by the robust domestic demand in Germany”.

There has also been a strong increase in economic expectations for the Eurozone, the index climbing 11.2 points to 44.

Eurozone industrial production numbers for June are also out. They show an increase of 0.7 per cent, compared to economist expectations of 0.8 per cent and a decline of 0.3 per cent in May.

Latest Rumor Sees 16-17% Greek Bond Haircut, Sending European Stocks Soaring

The latest targeted leak in the European “stress” tests is that according to German bank sources, the discount on Greek debt will be in the 16-17% ballpark. This compares to an earlier rumor leak of a 10% discount on Greek debt which however did not sufficiently spike the market, leading to rumor #2 which so far has done a good job at pushing the AUDJPY (aka stocks) higher. The quid pro quo however, is to take not only German but now French bonds, will be out of the “stressed” picture. As Reuters reports: “The presumed markdown applied to French sovereign bonds will be 0.7 percent, one of the sources, both of which are based in Germany, added. “German sovereign bonds will not be stressed,” both sources confirmed.” Of course, with Greek bonds being stressed to market (which is where the discount actually implies they are tested), French bonds would would suffer a far greater markdown than 0.7%. But then again, the EU has already bought up a ton of Greek bonds, and little if any French. Can’t have the bank pick and choose which country to bail out now, can it.
