8. Weekly Preview
Europe The most important events should be the Germany’s Constitutional Court decision over ESM,
Parliamentary Elections in Holland, a decision over Greece by Troika and any new details about
the start of the OMT Program by the ECB. We should follow closely Spain, as the country might
be close of asking for a bailout and qualifying for the Program.
US The FOMC Meeting might be crucial for the Markets Performance over the next weeks. The
announcement of a QE3 is expected. It will be published economic data on the country, where
we should focus on inflation, retail sales, industrial production and consumer confidence.
Rest of All eyes are above China after economic data that continues to point to a slowdown of the
the economy.

Ideas for the week: Portugal
BES: Buy at the market, stop-loss at 0,65€. Reasons to buy:
- The markets are rallying, due to the OMT from the ECB. As this Program will prompt to fall the Yields of
Government Bonds from countries that asked for assistance, the price of these securities will rise. As we
know, Portuguese Banks as BES are largely exposed to Portuguese Government Bonds.
- The markets risks are falling, and with it the costs of financing of these companies. For a Bank from a
peripheral country as BES, these are really good news.
- From the major Banks in Portugal, this was the only who didn’t require any assistance from the Portuguese
State for its recapitalization.
