USD Liquidity Swap Chart Puts Us Exactly in Bear Sterns Territory; The Question is Will There Be a Lehman Event in Europe ?

From Z.H.

As the attached chart showing USD liquidity swap line usage by the ECB, or more specifically by European banks, we have now seen a surge to levels last seen in August 2009. However, more importantly this is where the usage was for the first time after the failure of Bear Stearns, and when everyone thought all had been fixed… until Lehman came. We are there now, in other words, we have just experienced a behind the scenes Bear-type event. What is disturbing is just how fast the rate of change was this time around compared to before, when it took months to get to $50 billion. Now, it was one week. When “Lehman v2.0” hits and it will hit, the next step function in the Fed’s global bailout will be so big and so fast, it will induce vertigo.
