There was nothing but platitudes from the G-7 meeting this weekend. There was conflicting news on Greece. It’s being said that some European banks aren’t taking Greek paper for repos. On the other hand, Goldman says that Greek debt spreads are too wide and will begin to narrow soon; this would lower the stress level in the global economy. The Euro is a bit higher; are traders coming to grips with the Greek situation, or is this just a respite. Sovereign debt ratings continue to be a topic of discussion; Geithner was defending the US AAA rating on the talk shows this weekend, and UK debt continues to see pressure in higher CDS prices. There are no economic reports out today, but we get Treasury auctions this week Tuesday through Thursday. The USDA is supposed to put out a Supply/Demand report tomorrow; it may be delayed because of the snow in DC.
