3:20 pm
your children bet against the future steal from the future steal from your population and apparently when you remove that element of the equation your economy grows like a real free market right i mean you've got a war on terror and it's interpreted in two different ways in the united states or going after men in caves that are probably long sense departed and in europe they're getting rid of the real terrorists goldman sachs and as a result their economies are now doing much better. and you can watch the cars reporting just ten minutes from now here on t.v. time now for the business update with daniel. well it's a business the results of european bank stress tests to friday evening have been looming over the markets the tests are intended to reassure investors of the
3:21 pm
ripples in the banks by revealing their exposure to it and capital adequacy earlier i spoke to paul michael senior foreign exchange strategist at h.s.b.c. bank in london. the result would be what effect it might have on the markets a number of the european banks are going to go through this try to transparency argument to try and demonstrate to the market about who is going to be strong and who's going to be we can try to get a sense of how is the european banking system actually been holding up through this crisis so that's all tomorrow on this is what the key focus point is indeed going to be how is that going to potentially impact the markets. well i think with what we have to realize is that there's been a number of officials coming out over recent days suggesting that. the banks in respective countries seem to be in good shape in that they're going to pass these these stress tests there's been a couple of banks saying that they could possibly fail but perhaps the market already had a good feeling for this those type of failure candidates i think really perhaps
3:22 pm
it's going to line up to be somewhat of a nonevent i mean we will have to digest the overall news through the course of the weekend to try to get a feel of you know how much banks the european banks may need to recapitalize but in terms of it being a big market mover for the euro i'm a little bit skeptical at this at this juncture of what will be the consequence is going to be we could. well if it did turn out to be pessimistic report in a somewhat surprising. i think the at least from a currency perspective what you see happening is you see a flight to safety that is the likes of the end in probably the swiss franc would hold up quite well versus the euro you might even see the dollar actually try to rally somewhat versus the euro as well so river. some of the gains which we saw today but i think that the fact that it's coming out quite late tomorrow or scheduled to be then we're going to be in a bit of a holding pattern and it might not be until monday where we start to see a bigger reaction. let's have
