“After a six-month offensive against German-inspired austerity succeeded only in deepening his country\u2019s economic mess and antagonizing his European counterparts, there was little for Tsipras to tout as evidence of a face-saving compromise following a rancorous summit in Brussels that ran for more than 17 hours.” – Bloomberg, July 13, 2015 in “Tsipras Faces Mutiny After Capitulating to Demands<\/a>“<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The latest deal for Greece only sets up the conditions and constraints for the next round of negotiations – this time within Greek political bodies – but the key message is loud and clear. Greece has concluded, through Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, that the country must stay in the euro at any cost. Without the support of the eurozone and all its financial and institutional infrastructures, Greece faces dire outcomes that appear even worse through the fog of great uncertainty in a world of drachmas.<\/p>\n

The chart above shows net-net that through all the drama the euro remains trapped in rangebound trading. {snip}<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the speculative positions of traders on the euro have NOT churned with the headlines. {snip}<\/p>\n

If I am correct in my read of speculative positioning in the context of the on-going churn of Greek debt headlines, the bias is in place for more downside for the euro whenever marginal traders decide to place their bets again.<\/p>\n

Be careful out there!<\/p>\n
