Greek Rally Short Lived.
Over the weekend the world waited as Greek citizens went to the poles. In the end, Greece's New Democracy party won
129 seats in the 300-seat parliament.
Now they need to attempt to form a coalition. After the election the two pro-bailout
parties hold 162 seats, providing a majority of 24 over the anti-austerity and anti-bailout
party, that many feared would cause Greece to leave the EU if they gained a
majority.
Markets initially rose on the news,
but the party was short lived as yields on Spain's 10-year bonds rose +24 bps
to an unsustainable 7.11%. The jump in
yields was caused by a report that showed that non-performing loans held by the
Spain's banks hit an 18-year high of 8.72% in April. In Italy yields are up +10.6
bps to 6.03%.
