Information du Financial Times, relayée par Zero Hedge : la semaine dernière, la banque centrale européenne (BCE) a dû acheter pour 237 millions d'euros de bonds souverains irlandais pour éviter au pays de connaître une banqueroute, quelques mois après la Grèce. La BCE est également intervenue auprès de la Grèce et du Portugal...
So much for phasing out the bond purchasing programme. The latest weekly ECB data suggest that the ECB bought €237m worth sovereign bonds last week, the highest since the middle of August. Still small in absolute size, the paper notes, it is a sign of continuing problems in eurozone bond markets. Irish traders last week reported that the ECB had been in the market to support Irish bonds, whose yield spread to German bunds rose to new record levels. The article suggested that the ECB was also buying Greek and Portuguese bonds.
