I’ve noted this morning already some activity on twitter regarding Bloomberg live testing a Greek drachma (POST EUR) listing.

Here’s one pic:

Greek drachma on Bloomberg 1 12 January 2015

And another:

Greek drachma on Bloomberg 2 12 January 2015

Note, that second pic is from a blog post/story at the Financial Times from way back in 2012. Its not new.

From the FT, Bloomberg’s response:

  • In the normal course of business, Bloomberg carries out contingency planning exercises.

I expect more signs of incipient panic (perhaps panic is too strong a word …) in the lead up to the Greek election in 2 weeks. Grexit is a possibility, but I reckon it is an outlier. But, hey, whatever.
