EUROPEAN MARKETS

SPAIN – their bond auction was a mess (3.6B of 10yr fiat at 6.97%) and now both Spanish and French Equities are moving to immediate-term TRADE oversold alongside the Euro. That Goldman call to buy the Euro last week is now officially the worst FX call on Old Wall St of the year; 1.34 last.

ASIAN MARKETS

ASIA – we’ve been the 2011 Bear on Growth Slowing and now the high-frequency data is slowing even faster than we thought; I haven’t seen the legacy media lead w/ this yet and I don’t expect them to, but Singapore just printed a DOWN -16.2% y/y export # for OCT vs what was already startling at -4.6% in SEP. Indian stocks joined HK in crash mode overnight.
