¿ASÍ QUE CONSPIRACIONES para manipular los mercados, eh? Recordad que los políticos europeos llevan meses culpando a los perversos CDS de la crisis griega y, por ende, de la lamentable situación del euro. Y usándolo como argumento para tomar medidas drásticas. Pero resulta que la UE ha hecho un informe sobre el rol de los CDS en la crisis griega y, como revela que ha sido nada, han decidido no publicarlo:

A Brussels investigation into possible problems with speculative trading of credit default swaps on Greek sovereign debt in the wake of the country's crisis is understood to have found few serious flaws, triggering rumours that officials are reluctant to release the document.

Several sources told the Financial Times yesterday that findings by the task force - made up of European Union officials and outside experts - had not revealed the type of serious endemic problems with the Greek sovereign CDS market which would support the heavy-handed regulatory approach backed by several EU member states.

No mention was made of the task force's findings when the European Commission unveiled a politically charged consultation document on short selling on Monday which mooted giving European regulators powers to ban or restrict CDS trading if these related to the potential default by a member country.
