Daily Equity Prices and Market Overview 18.09.2012

The continued reluctance from Spain to seek a sovereign bailout kept the country’s implied borrowing costs high, while doubts grew over its willingness to request for an aid package, raised new concerns about Europe’s debt crisis.
Spain has yet to request what would be a politically unpopular EU/IMF bailout, which is a requirement for the European Central Bank to start buying bonds of any troubled euro zone government.
