Shares are set to surge, with appetite for risk assets seen
rising after European leaders agreed on a supervisory body for euro zone banks
and to allow them to be recapitalized directly by the rescue fund without
adding to government debt.
But I'm a bit still cautious as we have seen the cases where
different leaders later say different things and we find out that there remain
disagreements. As a result, the greenback (Dollar) is expected to slip against
the Yen, Euro and Indian Rupee.
High-beta currencies like the Australian dollar, which shall
enjoy a surprise short-covering rally. These gains on the euro zone news.
European leaders agreed on Friday to create a single
supervisory body for euro zone banks and allow them to be recapitalized
directly by the currency area's rescue fund without adding to government debt.
Still, there was a degree of skepticism with me waiting for
more clarity about the measures agreed. I want to point to considerable
execution risks in the move to empower the ECB with a supervisory role that
could prove to be contentious. Besides, the market would soon start to question
whether the euro zone's rescue fund has enough resources to recapitalize banks
and buy peripheral bonds given the huge debt liabilities of both Italy and Spain .
