The Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen for the week of December 11th

The focus remained on Europe, as leaders struggled to come up with a fiscal compact. Results were mixed, with the euro zone economies reaching some agreement, but the United Kingdom opted out.

Market participants still expect the ECB to come through eventually, despite its reluctance to take on the role of lender of last resort.
