MARKETS - Morning Call: European Markets Up In A Mild Rebound; Spanish Budget Plans Awaited - Ishaq Siddiqi ETX Capital


European stock markets are cautiously higher this morning, attempting to rebound after yesterday’s hefty losses. Any gains however are likely to be under threat given the civil unrest in Spain ahead of the government’s budget announcement. Traders are reluctant to make any bold moves ahead of the budget announcement which sees the country aiming to cut the budget deficit to 4.5% of GDP in 2013 from 6.3% of GDP in 2012.

Such a reduction would bring about harsh austerity measures for the country next year, but would gain approval by EU policy makers and the market alike which would be positive to risk-sentiment. The new budget plans will most likely be endorsed at the Eurogroup meeting early next month, paving the way for the ESM to finally come into play. That said, these measures could cause civil unrest in the country to intensify and we could see further political uncertainty in Spain in the near term.

Yesterday, Spanish 10-year bond yields rose sharply to stand around the 6.0% - not exactly the unsustainable highs around the 7% mark seen during the summer of this year, but uncomfortable still for the government. With the budget plans, we will also see the release of the Spanish bank stress tests – both announcements should give us further clarity over Spain’s next possible move, bailout request or not. Other than Spain today, we have a wealth of data with German labour numbers, UK and US 2Q GDP readings and euro zone confidence. Attention will also remain on Greece with its government set to announce its budget reduction plans to EU leaders tomorrow.

MARKETS - Mid Morning Comment: Traders Brace Themselves For Spanish Budget Plans - Ishaq Siddiqi ETX Capital


European financial markets are treading water today as investors refrain from taking on any bold positions as the Spanish government prepares to announce budget plans this afternoon. Spain’s PM Mariano Rajoy said he is committed to European integration and vowed to take necessary steps to get his country’s beleaguered finances back on track. The government are said to be looking to reduce the budget deficit to 4.5% GBP in 2013 from 6.2% in 2012 – ambitious given the high level on unemployment and dire state of the housing market amongst other issues.

PM Rajoy faces a difficult task to please EU policymakers and the Spanish public alike with austerity measures but in order to do this, the response must be balanced. However, we all know that tough austerity, although welcomed by EU governments [particularly Germany], will most undoubtedly be met with anger and protest by the general Spanish public. Already we have seen violent protests in the capital and even calls from the Catalonia region to gain independence from Spain. The tougher the measures, the more likely we are to see civil unrest intensify which would lead to political uncertainty, potential elections and the rise of anti-euro parties who would fight for a Spanish exit from the euro.

We saw this story unfold in Greece this summer and could see it unfold in Spain next summer. And, even if Rajoy delivers a budget package that would be welcomed by EU leaders and financial markets, underlying issues remain; enforcing austerity on a country facing a deep and protracted recession will lead to years of zero growth and hardship for the people. With that in mind, Spain will soon have little or no choice but to seek assistance from the ECB in order to be pulled out of this debt quicksand that continues to plague financial markets.

Attention also remains on the Greek government who will announce budget reduction plans to EU leaders tomorrow and like Spain will need to announce harsh austerity measures in order to get the green light for more funding by its international lenders. Budget plans from both countries should help dictate price action for next week, but for now, it’s all wait and see.
