The shining future that America once had is all but a page
note in the history books now. Record numbers not in the workforce, failed
foreign policies and domestic strife is the new normal. And how is the brain
trust in DC going to solve these problems? National service for all 18 - to

Greece
Will Default To IMF Tomorrow, Government Official Says. S- by Tyler
Durden on 06/29/2015
Earlier today, as the exchange between Greece and its
creditors got increasingly belligerent, Estonian Prime Minister Taavi said that
"Greece’s debt would still remain outstanding and creditors would
expect this money back." So did this latest antagonism change the
Greek mind? According to a flash headline by the WSJ released moments ago, not
all. In fact, Greece just made it official that it would default to the IMF in
just over 24 hours: "Greece won't pay IMF tranche due Tuesday, government
official says"

Puerto
Rico Announces Bond Payment "Moratorium". Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 06/29/2015
Having
concluded last night that Puerto Rico debt is "unpayable,"
and that his government could not continue to borrow money to address budget
deficits while asking its residents, already struggling with high rates of
poverty and crime, to shoulder most of the burden through tax increases and
pension cuts, Padilla confirmed tonight that: PUERTO RICO TO SEEK
"NEGOTIATED MORATORIUM", 'YEARS' OF POSTPONEMENT IN DEBT PAYMENTS.
Likening his state's situation to that of Detroit and New York City (though not
Greece), Padilla concluded, the economic situation is "extremely difficult,"
which is odd because just a few years ago when they issued that bond -
everything was awesome?

"Of
What Use Is A Gun With No Bullets?", BIS Says Central Banks Defenseless
Against Coming CrisisSubmitted by Tyler
Durden on 06/29/2015
Risk-taking in financial markets has gone on for too
long. And the illusion that markets will remain liquid under stress has been
too pervasive. But the likelihood of turbulence will increase further if
current extraordinary conditions are spun out. The more one stretches an
elastic band, the more violently it snaps back. Restoring more normal
conditions will also be essential for facing the next recession, which will no
doubt materialise at some point. Of what use is a gun with no bullets left?

by Tyler Durden on 06/29/2015
Portuguese bond risk spiked a massive 49bps today.
Early efforts to limit the contagion failed and Portuguese risk went out at its
highs of the day and the biggest spike in risk since March 2008. Yes
we know Draghi has a big bazooka but so does China... and how did that work
out?

According to Germany's FAZ, "the Greek Court also

well-informed policy analyst. Money that in view of the strapped Greek Checkout
simply will not be there, even if the country saves a EUR 1.6 billion

and PR bonds are collapsing this morning...

Contagion Spreads As Several Italian Bank Stocks Failed To Open. S- by Tyler
Durden on 06/29/2015
While things have normalized since the open thanks entirely
to the SNB's aggressive EUR-buying, CHF-selling intervention (good to see that
central banks have read the BIS' report and have learned from their prior
intervention mistakes), earlier this morning we got a snapshot of what happens
if and when the SNB, and then the ECB itself, finally lose control when as a
result of the Greek crisis the contagion promptly spread a few hundred
kilometers west to Italy where as the WSJ
reported, "several Italian banks failed to start trading on Monday
as fears over a Greek debt default induced many investors to shed peripheral
stocks, including Italian, with banks suffering the most."
