In my opinion, this has been and can only be sustained by the Fed's monthly printing.

Spanish Bad Loans Re-Accelerate To New Record High

ZeroHedge

Amid the Spanish FinMin's "concerns about the pace of the increase" in government debt, and PM Rajoy's confidence that the nation would exit the eurozone-fueled banking bailout by January, bad loans in the still disastrously-troubled nations have re-accelerated to an all-time record high of 12.68% of total loans. Mostly linked to the collapsed property sector, bad loans climbed by 6.9 billion euros from the previous month to an unprecedented 187.8 billion euros ($254 billion) in September. Having almost completed the drawdown of its 41 billion bailout - and with the situation fundamentally worse than ever (e.g. record high unemployment), Spanish bond spreads have collapsed to 250bps - their lowest in 29 months.
