* ECB dollar facility tapped for first time since Feb
LONDON, Aug 17 (Reuters) - The European Central Bank's
dollar facility was tapped for the first time since February on
Wednesday, in another sign that money markets are in a
distressed state.
A single euro zone bank borrowed $500 million worth of
one-week dollars at a fixed interest rate of 1.1 percent, well
above the rates that trusted banks can get dollars for on open
markets.
* SNB has no demand in dollar repo
Aug 17 (Reuters) - The Swiss National Bank had no demand in its weekly dollar repo:
Aug 17 7-day 0 1.10 pct
Aug 10 7-day 0 1.08 pct
Aug 3 7-day 0 1.15 pct
July 27 7-day 0 1.06 pct
July 20 7-day 0 1.07 pct
July 13 7-day 0 1.08 pct
July 6 7-day 0 1.09 pct
Aggiungo oggi:
Zerohedge: "If yesterday's news broken by ZH that one bank was in dire need of US dollars and ended up borrowing $500 million from the ECB was enough to send the market down almost 5% today, then the follow up news that the FRBNY just reactivated FX swap lines with Europe will likely send ES limit down at tomorrow's open. The FRBNY has just announced that in the week ended August 17, it lent out $200 million to not the ECB, not the BOE, but the "most stable" of all banks: the SNB. This is the first use of the Fed's Swap Lines since March, and the most transacted under this "last ditch global bailout swap line" (see more on how the Fed bailed out the world using swap lines here) since October 2010. This event also gives us a hint that the European bank in question in dire need of cash is Swiss, which in turn means that it is not some usual PIIGS suspect, but one of the two "big ones." If true, this means that the European insolvency, liquidity and what have you crisis is about to take an exponential step function higher."
