Concerns about French bank exposure to Italy and rumors over a French sovereign downgrade (effectively denied by the rating agencies) have pushed French government spreads above Lehman crisis levels today (10 year spreads of Spain and Italy below for comparison purpose. The drop is due to ECB purchases).
Meanwhile, the U.S. Treasury market again in risk off mode – we’re close to Lehman lows.
I'm not bullish...
