Drumbeat Against the Euro Banging Loudly

The populist popular press is out early today
FT:  The worst of the euro crisis is yet to come
Reuters: Euro bond would get member's weakest rating (S&P)

Of course, bloggers/FX advisory sites are out, en masse
FX Daily:  EURUSD: Hold short as selling accelerates
Zero Hedge:  Merkel Loses Big, See Ya (ok, so i summarize)

3-day weekends have not been good for global equity markets (Federal Reserve Bank announced emergency liquidity measures, Soc Gen, October 1987, all occurred on a Tuesday following a long weekend).

S&P Futures down only 5, gold up (of course).  Just a bunch of screen jockeys playing poker with each other, and some irrelevant babble about a lower Aussie Dollar can be ignored for now.  We will see when Europe opens.  More as it comes in.
