The Law of Unintended Consequences...
So was it the implication that the markets are weak and need protection from an expected bear rush? Or the loss of liquidity from the ban? Clearly a lot of people decided to sell up and get out on the news, for whatever reasons.
Or just that the markets don't want to like the Germans, no I think it was probably fear of something bad as telegraphed by the German minister trying to build some protection.
