The paradox of value and the Euribor
In classical economics has been studied frequently "the paradox of value". Usually we have the idea that something "useful" to be more expensive than something "useless" but ... Why diamonds are more expensive than water?. Nothing is more useful to humans than water, but for the moment we are not used to buy almost anything. To do that you an idea of what little water is worth, in Madrid the price is € 0.001269 per liter.
The solution to this paradox is not to explain to the value of things, but with the attitude of someone on that property. The classic example comes to be that of a man in the desert with a bag of diamonds, but died of thirst. What is worth more there? Does the water or diamonds?. Understanding this concept we can understand why certain ratings above or below its price of course.
Now, we are experiencing what might be called "The Paradox of Euribor" that comes to saying that the Euribor low but rising mortgages and is what is echoed in "The World"
The Euribor is expected to close in February 2008 at 4.33%, below a tenth of what it set in January (4498%).
The indicator on Friday reached the 4367%, so that the average would be in February 4337%, well below the 4733% with the beginning of the year and 4498% with the ending in January. However, this "good news" would only benefit the mortgages with six-monthly review.
For half a mortgage of 150,000 euros to 25 years and with a spread of 0.50% hired a year ago that the assessments are reviewed annually in February would rise from 799 to 819 euros, representing a monthly cost of about EUR 20 .
Among the usual lack of news on Mondays at this time, highlight the Five-Day titled "Growing signs of a slowdown."
A slowdown in the Spanish economy remains journey. Almost all the indicators used by the Ministry of Finance to predict activity in the short term charts show-down and exacerbated. This is the case, among others, of synthetic indicators, grouping variables to observe sectoral trends. According to them, consumption, services and construction will get worse during this semester.
As for the bags, today we are going up by the closure upward at the last minute of Wall Street and rises in Japan that has benefited from possible entry of Chinese money (which was down to the bag china). As you can see an interesting movement of capital which we will see for Asia and the bubble of bubbles is that the Chinese market.
PS: I remember that the BOE has already been released in January 2008 Euribor
