Europe was leaking on slower growth expectations and ongoing pain in Spain but the US NFP print hit it while it was down and stumbled the already-underperforming German DAX - now down almost 4% on the day. Interestingly the Italian and Spanish yields and yield spreads are compressing modestly (doesn't seem at all clear why unless desperation has brought the rest of LTRO money off the table among Spanish banks - though Bund relative weakness may explain it - though rumors of ECB buying are out - after 4 months off). Bunds are underperforming notably as 10Y TSY - 10Y Bunds drops 7-8bps from this morning's highs - did another safe-haven just get dissed?

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
