Spain and Italy were both told to brace for a debt downgrade after a leading rating agency concluded that a "comprehensive solution to the eurozone crisis is technically and politically beyond reach".

In effect Fitch is stating that the decisions taken at the Brussels summit last week are irrelevant (most commentators are of this opinion).

Expect turbulent financial markets in the next few days.
