In Thread: EUR
all i want to know is not if the someone's plan is working but what i want to know will there be someone to cover all this. It seems to be selling right now on rumours but will it buy on the facts. Cuz i think we will get it back once we hear some clear decisions and the date of the actual payment that coming to Greece.

Ashraf your thoughts on Dollar Index, what the hell is it doing at the 84 levels. And shouldn't the ECB make some sort of announcement to restore calm.

A bloody mess it is!
Why is the ECB letting this carry on, why are there no specifics as to when IMF is making their payment why hasn't there been a clear and unanimous decision from the Eurozone so far. Whats taking them so long, this is not just Euro catastrophe its nothing less of a financial melt down in the rest of the markets as well.

EUs Rehn: Confident 110 Bln Euros Will Suffice For Greek Financing Needs In Coming Years

*EU/IMF loan allows Greece to not go to markets for funding in first 2 years
*Deficit levels in EU are worryingly high
*Not going to propose aid mechanism for Spain as there is no need for aid mechanism
*Speculation reaching euphoric levels
*Spain, Portugal taking measures to consolidate public finances
*Greece only EU state which fiddled with statistics
*Euro zone taking care of Greek case, confident will turn things around for Greece
*Agrees with broad thrust of French, German ideas to reinforce EU budget rules
*Greeck growth will slow as a result of consolidation efforts. Greek economy should start growing in 2012
*Stock markets tend to think very short term
*Absolutely essential to contain bush fire in Greece, stop threat to whole EU economy

What's next i guess the only thing that might save Euro decline this week may be an actuall announcement on when exactly they are getting the money. IMF needs to announce it today or tomorrow and obviously looking forward to hear from Eurozone confederates on late Friday which obviously wont help much as its NFP day <EXPECT VERY VERY HIGH VOLATILITY>.

They just cant help themselves. Go on call into question the Greek aid package why dont ya. EUR/USD slips back to 1.2975 at writing.
JUst hearing Russia seller of EUR/USD in recent trade.
Right what other nuggets we got from Angela
Greek aid plan is about the future of Europe and Germany in Europe
Without us there can be no decision which is economically sustainable
Europe is at a fork in the road on question of Greek aid
Greece has pledged to take the toughest measures on its deficit
There is no alternative to backing Greek aid for the stability of the euro zone (doesnt that somewhat contradict headline?)
Aid must come to avoid risk of contagion
We must curb speculation on markets
Conditions on aid package for Greece have been met
Banks must not shirk responsibility in helping Greece
Banks must keep credit lines open to Greece
We should heed IMF advice against international financial market transaction tax
We should heed IMF advice in favour of taxation of bank pay and profits
We need more regulation on derivatives, hedge funds
Need more economic and financial policy coordination in Europe
EU budget deficit sinners should suffer temporary loss of voting rights

The contagion in Europe is gathering speed overnight with Spain now the focus of attention. EUR/USD and EUR/JPY are the two main casualties and rallies in both are now to be seen as selling opportunities. EUR/GBP finally triggered stops below .8590 and the SNB is right now playing a dangerous game by drawing a line in the sand at 1.4325.
RBA decision might well be a buy-the-rumour-sell-the-fact event and that is exactly what it turned out to be. AUD/JPY and AUD/USD falling hard and with rate rises now likely on hold for a few months, the focus might turn to the riskier aspects of the AUD trade.
The Bank of England learned to their cost that you cannot stand in the way of the FX market and now the SNB are trying to hold the EUR/CHF above 1.4320. Have a look at any hourly chart. An 8 pip range for 3 sessions in a row. This is what happened in GBP/DMK back in late 1991 before it collapsed, ever tightening intraday ranges and then when the BoE pulled their bid the pair went into vertical freefall.
This is obviously a different situation but nevertheless if the SNB suddenly disappears, watch out for a big black hole.

while im not buying until i clear break above 13165
not selling either as I suppose there Fridays join Eurozone gov's unanimous decision will get it back up to 13270 and then once they get their first payment from IMF it can take it further up.
