Tempus fugit, no entanto

Morgan Stanley strategists led by Hans Redeker, head of foreign- exchange strategy in London: ‘‘What we did hear out of Brussels does not convince us that euro markets can remain stable for long. While the EFSF now has the flexibility required to deal with the challenges of protesting credit markets, the size of the EFSF has not been increased, leaving markets guessing how long it may take before this market-calming instrument may run out of funds’’

Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd.’s Lee Hardman, a currency strategist in London: ‘‘The plan falls short of achieving debt sustainability with debt to gross domestic product ratios for Greece, Portugal and Ireland still likely to remain comfortably above 100 percent. A continuation of solvency concerns will leave the door open for contagion fears to rebuild. Beyond the new bailout euphoria, relative economic fundamentals are turning against the euro with growth in the euro-zone slowing sharply’’
