What BBN said about it

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe European Central Bank published two speeches. Frank Elderson on timely remediation of bank problems, and Piero Cipollone on the digital euro and tokenisation.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNeither speech announced a rate move, Dale. Euro-dollar is at one point one two five four, up point two eight percent.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorTimely remediation means the banks are already leaking, Hank. Meanwhile the ten-year at five point two eight six is the real scripture. I'm thrilled.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's down point four seven percent today, and the S and P is up point five four. Your sermon is not landing.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA digital euro is just money that can crash from your toilet. Brilliant. Terrifying. Wonderful.
