I don't look in there much but crumbs that has pulled back big time in the last couple of months or so ....

You were talking about the Italian banks the other day.........
The Italian banks hold lots of Italian government debt that is in danger of devaluation, or default. The Italian government relies on the banks to lend it money to carry on. The Italian banks and treasury are like two drunken giants propping each other up, inextricably linked by mutual weakness. When the crisis hits, they will go down together.
The Italian government now wants to borrow more than European guidelines permit, and more than the European authorities feel comfortable with. "None of your business," say the Italians, who increasingly loudly resent the interference of the EU Commission and the European Central Bank. "Oh yes it is," say the EU officials, pointing out that the Italians have solemn commitments to honour to ensure the viability of the euro long term.

That's one of the issues I have being where I am
I can't plan or study anything in here for long as there's too many interruptions, so I usually miss these windows....
hey ho, I'm still watching it

Now t too keen on the spread here today, needs to be closed up a tad IMO.....
According to the daily charts there were more buys than sells, but as we know, these trades are all over the place.
Still it's nice to see TSTRa bit more prominent these days if nothing else

LONDON — Sterling gained half a percent versus the dollar and euro on Tuesday after Ireland's RTE News reported that the European Union may offer Britain a UK-wide customs union.

The pound rose from just below $1.30 <GBP=D3> to as high as $1.3044 after the report, up 0.6 percent on the day. It also jumped versus the euro to as much as 87.995 pence before easing back to 88.1 pence <EURGBP=D3>.

Reuters had reported on Monday that EU negotiators were looking at ways to promise Britain a customs deal.

Analysts said the EU offering a UK-wide customs union would show that the two sides were moving closer towards resolving their differences and reaching a Brexit deal, although such a proposal would not be popular among some of May's colleagues in her Conservative party.
