Well, it's that time again to talk about the Spanish banks (I could talk about all banks in Europe but I'll choose Spain since I know it better and they are the worst).

The Spanish summer of tourist revenues was cut short and was very bad over all. The window of opportunity to
rebuild cash flows for business and households has passed. COVID complications will cause more economic pain and The Insolvency will become prevalent over the autumn and winter.

Last week the EU gave $73bn in help for the EU banks but that failed - they are down 14% since then.
But in Spain... yikes. Banco Sabadell is about to break key support
Santander is a total shit show...
It is about to take out its ALL TIME LOW, set back in 1992.
BBVA looks equally bad...
And remember the Cliff of Death? Its down over 50% since breaching that...
The merger of Caixa and Bankia just turns an ok bank into a shit bank. I still continue to fear that a large part of the equity of the EU banks is going to zero and ends up in state hands.

Meanwhile, the Ibex looks like a horror story...
It doesn't feel like the right time to be record-long the Euro... but that is the markets position, or therein there-a-bouts.

Welcome to The Insolvency.

This too shall pass...

Crypto is still feeling the tightening in liquidity from the stronger dollar and higher rates in Q4 2024. That is almost done and financial conditions are easing fast and M2 is headed back to new highs. This is just a regular correction... 1/ Image
We had the exact same correction in 2017 caused by the same reaction to Trump policies (higher dollar and higher rates which then reversed). 2/ Image
Over time, we just keep climbing the log regression channel. Whether we stay at the man (red) or climb above it by another standard deviation or two remains to be seen as the cycle develops. Image

These are the three most important charts in Global Macro, along with Crypto - from this months Global Macro Investor publication:

1. Demographics are destiny. GDP slows over time as size of labour force shrinks. Image
2. Government Debt to GDP ratio is just a function of the working population. It offsets the weak growth and pays for the compunding interests on the debts. This is THE most important chart in macro. Image
3. That debt is serviced via debasement via liquidity increases over time. Image
