There was quite a bit of central bank concern over the results of the 'stress tests' for the European banks.
I will not address the tests themselves here, but let it suffice to say that they only involved the banks' trading portfolios, and not their loan portfolios, which could give you some idea of their lack of rigor. And 7 of 91 banks failed.
But the spokesmodels on Bloomberg were remarking, frequently, that the markets are pleased by the tests and the crisis is over because 'stocks are higher,' and 'gold was lower.'
The lies and market manipulation will continue until confidence is restored.

"Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
John 8:43-44
