Has the market got the Eurozone spreads wrong
Has the market got the Eurozone spreads wrong? There is a major issue with the market's reactions this year regarding Eurozone bond spreads. The market seems to have forgotten the lessons around sovereign risk from the Eurozone crisis only a few years ago believing that the European Central Bank (ECB) will protect them.
