The euro has what the dollar just gave away: trust.
So it is high time for Europe to begin issuing joint debt — or Eurobonds, in bubble-speak.
Advocates have long made their case plain: Eurobonds would not only finance European rearmament — or, in Mediterranean, “readiness” — they would give investors a safe haven for long-term investments as the world rearranges its trade furniture.
The last few weeks can only have strengthened their case. Yesterday, the US genius-in-chief realised that his GPT-crafted penguin-tariffs may not have been the killer 5D chess move his yes-men first made them out to be.
A straightforward explanation for the rollover could be that Trump realized that the tariffs were shaking the very foundations of the US economy.
Yesterday, returns on US Treasury bonds soared, signaling a mass selloff that pushed bond prices down and yields up.
At one point, Greek government bonds (backed by the ECB, I should say) were a more lucrative investment than their American counterparts. Oh, how the tables have turned. …

Ah yes. Bring back the Weimar Wheelbarrow.
The Eurodrones will be happy to insert any anti-American lie after that.
Well, Magnus Lund Nielsen, when what you have to offer is: “The last few weeks can only have strengthened their case. Yesterday, the US genius-in-chief realised that his GPT-crafted penguin-tariffs may not have been the killer 5D chess move his yes-men first made them out to be”. I ask you: what’s your plan?
People like that run on hate.
As Lenin once said, “Hatred is the basis of communism”; it clearly is the basis of socialism, which they claim is a “predecessor” to their theoretical stateless communist society.

Oh, it certainly was not a killer 5D chess move. It was a tortuous 75d chess move and the losing party is China.
I’d gladly pay for some negative interest German bonds. Not.
No, I’ve thinking about chocolate eclairs.
Fentynal and patriarchy?
Dear Bond Investor:
Allah prohibits interest.
May Allah provide you with wisdom.
There are about five trillion possible new reasons for higher US interest rates.
The reason for the proposed bond issue is to get some cash in the till for the EU and the member states for a gusher of domestic spending in the hope of keeping right-wing parties out of power.
