Hum...I don't know whether at all cajas i.e. savings banks participated in the stress test
Daniel Gros director of Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) in Brussels just stated in an interview MOST CAJAS are not involved ... only a few caixas, that is mergers of cajas, are and they need 4.5 bln EUR immediately. According to Gros, the very rest of cajas must be bailed out with about EUR 100 bln. Gros however sees the most "fog" in large banks of France

Does anybody know who is actually responsible for administering the stress on test on the banks?

If the examiners have anything to do with the EU then I think it will simply be a useless exercise,

to many people in the EU are desperate for it not to fail, call me cynical.

Good Luck Out There

FX is unwilling to play the risk aversion trade. Although stocks remain down and continue to show only modest improvements, FX unwilling to buy USD and JPY more aggresively.

Yes, I agree Ashraf, was thinking only of small pip down moves intraday in conjuction with overall risk moves, should've clarified. Friday could bring just about anything . . .

Qiman, i wouldnt want to be short EUR ahead of Friday. If anything, theres room for buying below 1.2850 for 1.2950. Weekly EURUSD still loooks good.

Thanks for this update Ashraf, if EURUSD is seen supported at $1.22770 trend line support, it seems there might be room for some shorting before friday, will be watching for this possibility. I could also see a short uptrend along with the s and p later today.

CAT why so glum on EURO my friend? It just gave an easy 150 and can likely shed some more price levels now that it has triggered some stops. Right now Im not that worried that Euro will go higher, what concerns me that end July mid Aug Euro may not be suggesting a clear break.

Remember July Aug are just slow month, but euro and gold seem to be two significant instruments giving good returns so why not trade them.
