Greece may be in flames, but its stock market is doing quite nicely.
In fact, the gains so far this year have outpaced those in many financially stronger countries—especially China.
While Greece’s battle to combat its deficit, secure aid and implement austerity measures has roiled global markets since the start of the European debt crisis, its benchmark stock market index is set to end 2012 sharply in the black.
As of Wednesday, the Athens Composite Index had [...]

So much for convincing investors that Europe is fixed.
The European Central Bank’s latest monetary policy decision—a 25 bps rate cut—hasn’t bolstered confidence, either.
UPDATE: Markets across Europe are tanking, although France and Germany are off their lows. No such luck for Spain. A quick look at the scoreboard:

French CAC 40: -1.0%

The Spanish IBEX 35 and the Italian FTSE MIB got crushed today, after Greek elections failed to reassure markets that anything has changed for the troubled Spain and Italy.

European shares are in free fall right now, with all major indices down about 2 percent or more.
A look at the carnage so far:
CAC 40: -2.1%
DAX: -1.8%
FTSE MIB: -3%
IBEX 35: -2.1%
Meanwhile, the euro is also getting killed, briefly dipping to $1.261 before recovering to about $1.266, its lowest value since 2010. Meanwhile, U.S. Treasuries are confirming this risk-off attitude, with yields rivaling lows seen late last year.
This comes ahead of an [...]
raders have warned of more market turbulence after elections in Greece and France fuelled uncertainty over Europe’s ability to solve its debt crisis.
Germany’s Dax and France’s Cac-40 were more than 1% lower and the main stock exchange in Athens slumped 8% as markets worried that Greece’s failure to form a government has placed further doubt over the country’s rescue, increasing speculation over the eventual break-up of the single currency.

Socialist Party candidate François Hollande, frontrunner in the French presidential election, was trying to score some cheap points against President Nicolas Sarkozy—who’d been criticized for his cozy relationship with the rich. “I don’t like the rich,” he said—and followed up on February 27 on TF1, a French TV network, when he trotted out some ideas, such as the perennial favorite of capping gasoline prices. But most intriguingly, he offered his [...]

LONDON (MarketWatch) — So where was the carnage?
Late last Friday night, the ratings agency Standard & Poor’s delivered its downgrade of French debt, stripping one of the world’s biggest economies of its AAA rating.
Over the weekend, it wasn’t hard to imagine the cataclysm that would follow. After all, the news could hardly be more worrying. The French debt market is one of [...]

European shares fell and the euro tumbled close to a one-year low against the dollar, as investors fretted over a crucial auction of long-term bonds by Italy.
While Italy paid sharply lower rates on Wednesday to raise €9.0 billion ($A11.6 billion) in a six-month bond sale, providing an early boost to equities, stocks and the euro later fell as investors looked ahead to Thursday’s auction.
In late afternoon deals, the euro slumped [...]

And once again we see how funny markets are.
The main takeaway from most of the reports was that the weekend in Europe was filled with ‘despair’ and that relations between countries had fallen to all-time lows, and that not much progress was made.
And yet! Stocks are higher across the board.
France’s CAC-40 is up 0.9% in early going. Germany is up 0.75%. Italy is up 0.8%.

German finance minister Wolfgang Schauble said it would be a folly to boost the EU’s bail-out machinery (EFSF) beyond its €440bn lending limit by deploying leverage to up to €2 trillion, perhaps by raising funds from the European Central Bank.

European markets have lost early gains, with the FTSE 100, the CAC 40 and the DAX off over 1%.
Last night’s unexpected G-20 statement pledging to take strong coordinated actions to support Europe apparently was not convincing.
Dow futures point to a negative open, losing early gains of nearly 100 points. Here’s a chart:

The meek and somnolent shall inherit nothing, because Europe just came back online and the apocalypse has resumed.
